UConn Police Men’s Self-Defense Class
The UConn Police Department in partnership with the University of Connecticut are working together to reaffirm the goal of providing the highest level of safety and well-being to the UConn community by offering a free-of-charge men's self-defense class. The class is offered to students and staff within the University Community.
The goal of the Men's Self-Defense class is to provide realistic self-defense options to men regardless of their physical conditioning through the "R.A.D for Men" systems of self-defense. Students and staff at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class in every day situations. R.A.D. for men stands for Resisting Aggression with Defense and is designed to empower men to resist/escape agression while learning to defend themselves when confronted with aggressive behavior.
This 12 hour course (4 classes) will be held on Monday nights starting February 15th through March 7th 2016 , each class starts at 5:30 pm, ending by 8:30pm. Class will be held at the UConn, Shippee Hall, Basement Pequot Room. Participants must attend all 4 classes in order to complete the course, which will include risk awareness, prevention, and by stander information as well as the physical hands on self-defense skills.
Class size is limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Online enrollment for this class runs from January 25th through February 12th, 2016. To register for this class visit http://publicsafety.uconn.edu/police/education-and-programs/self-defense-classes/
