Denver Police to Teach Free Self-Defense Workshop for Women

Denver Police District 1 — which is located in the NorthWest quadrant of Denver — is hosting a free self-defense workshop for girls and women ages 10 years and up.

As North Denver News reports, the class is a combination of informational and hands-on lessons. Participants will learn basic awareness concepts and methods of avoiding potentially dangerous situations. They’ll practice balance, movement, and easy strikes & kicks, in addition to other physical skills. Students are required to wear workout clothes and shoes. They will also have to bring their own water and snack, as there is no lunch break during the three-hour course.

The free workshop will take place Saturday, June 28 beginning at 9 a.m. at the Highland Recreation Center in Denver. See below for additional details, via North Denver News.
