Description

Join the Women of BOMA for an empowering self-defense training event led by expert instructor Norman Bettencourt from Paladin Security. This event consists of two one-hour sessions covering situational awareness, ground defense, escaping hair pulls, arm and wrist grabs, blocking punches and kicks, and defending against front and rear chokes. You'll also learn how to avoid looking like a victim and weapon response techniques.

Attendees from both sessions will come together for a catered lunch, providing a great opportunity to connect and discuss key takeaways. Please wear athletic attire for comfort and mobility during hands-on scenarios. Don't miss this chance to enhance your personal safety skills!
