11th Grade Leans Self Defense

The 11th grade ticktocker class participated in a crash course on self defense taught by Sierra. Sierra is a black belt in American kenpo karate and has 12 years of experience, 3 of which are with a black belt. We were taught how to get out of the most common situations girls find themselves in when a predator attacks. The skills we learned were precise and easy to remember just in case we need to protect ourselves. The most important thing to remember about attacking your attacker is to go for the soft parts of the body and not to rely on strength. This was a great opportunity for the 11th grade class and we encourage other grades to participate in a similar self defense course.
