Two hour self defense workshops are offered here on campus.  These sessions will provide common sense, practical information regarding sexual assault prevention, describe and recognize the progression of a rape attempt and demonstrate basic self defense skills that any woman can use to help ward off an attack.  Participants develop skills in verbal, non-verbal, psychological and physical techniques for defusing potentially violent encounters.  The self defense program will teach what attackers look for in a victim, how to avoid an attack and what to do in case of an attack.

These workshops are designed for women, but men also are invited to attend.  If you are interested in attending or hosting one of these workshops, please contact Angela Michael, IM Sports West  (517) 355-5250 for more information.
