Registration Is Open for Mother & Daughter Self-Defense

Participants will learn simple and effective strategies for personal safety while increasing their situational awareness.

Southlake Parks and Recreation is proud to offer this unique class designed especially for young women ages 14 and up to train in self-defense with their mothers.

Instructors will begin by discussing situational awareness and demonstrating the four levels of awareness: white (tuned out), yellow (relaxed awareness), orange (focused awareness) and red (high alert). Students will then learn and practice proven self-defense techniques from jiu jitsu, a martial art that levels the playing field for smaller opponents by emphasizing strategy, leverage and ground fighting.

Participants of all ages will leave class confident in their ability to maintain active awareness and defend themselves in potentially dangerous situations.
