PrintThanks for your presentation on being a Black Belt in Life on Friday. I really enjoyed it and I think my students got a lot out of it. It was age-appropriate and I think it was very effective that you involved the students in role playing and by repeatedly asking them what the steps were and what they meant. I like the five steps. They really relate to what I try to teach in my classroom. As a mother, teacher, coach, and Cub Scout den leader I think your program is realistic and is a good life lesson.

“I am writing to thank [you] for scheduling the self-defense and empowerment class… I was in attendance with a friend. The class taught self- preservation in threatening situations.”
“The instructors were very good at teaching the simple but most effective skills needed to escape a threat. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has been a victim or knows a victim. Once again, thank you for offering this opportunity to the community.”
