WINNEMUCCA - May's schedule for women's free self-defense and empowerment classes provided by Paul Montenegro of Montenegro's School of TaeKwon Do and Advocates for Victims of Abuse Executive Director Rebecka Swatman are as follows:
May 18 - 20 and May 28 - 31 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Classes are held at the Montenegro School of TaeKwon Do, 5184½ Winnemucca Blvd. (Behind Computer Tamer and next to the BLM offices).
While the classes are each month, the techniques are easy enough for anyone to pick up from one session. A review is given at each class to enable full benefit for anyone who wants to learn these powerful self-defense methods.
Each class involves critical discussions covering the most important awareness principles and safety strategies. Even if you are already well-versed in safety strategies and are well aware of your surroundings, these lessons will reinforce your safety consciousness and heighten your awareness in many settings. They recommend you bring a partner (friend, sister, daughter, etc) if possible to practice techniques with.
The classes are offered monthly to all women ages 18 and over (if younger, parental permission is required).
If anyone is interested in taking a class but is not comfortable with any of the lessons, it's acceptable to sit out and observe. No one will be asked to participate in anything they are uncomfortable with. If any special accommodations are needed, please call ahead for arrangements.
Patience, timing and leverage can overcome any of life's adversities, regardless of their nature. Remember: Anyone can be a victim, regardless of where you live, education, age gender, physical attributes, socioeconomic status, etc. Everyone can learn to protect themselves!
