The Family Crisis Center in Great Bend is teaming up with November Tango Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to offer a women’s self-defense class. Rachel with the Family Crisis Center saw the importance of women being able to defend themselves in situations where defense is warranted.
"They're going to learn different steps to be able to get out of a potentially violent situation. For example, if somebody grabs your wrist...how to get yourself out of that hold."
The class will be held Nov. 18 at The Dream Center, 2100 Broadway in Great Bend, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Rachel added they can call the office for more information or just show up the day of the event.
Participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle and towel, and should wear gym clothing but nothing loose. Anyone interested in the class should be at least 13 years old, accompanied by an adult.
