The women’s self-defense class will showcase some of tactics used by Grogan’s in their instructions. Those in attendance will learn safety tips and awareness strategies, vital areas to strike if attacked, how to generate more power from one’s body than ever thought possible and how to feel confident while protecting one’s self or their loved ones.
