Self Defense Class to Empower Women and Girls

Soroptimists International of Farmington Valley will be giving a self defense class for women and girls Saturday June 26, 2010.

The class will be held at Yu's Academy of Martial Arts on Route 44 in Canton.

The class is free but a $10 donation to Soroptimist International is suggested. Donations collected will go to area women and children in need.

This workshop will help empower women to identify potentially dangerous situations that can put them in harm. Women will gain confidence while learning some basic self defense techniques. It is structured for women, 13 and older with little or no experience.

Come and observe self defense demonstrations and have a chance to practice simple techniques. Several SIFV women are students at Yu's Academy, which has generously donated their facility for the event.

Registration is required as space is limited. To register please call Kathleen at (860)614-5676. For more information visit www.BestForWomenSelfDefense.com.
