Feel empowered, independent and SAFE with self defense skills! Instructor Lindsey Daehnke of Strictly Self Defense will teach the mindset, skill set and planning necessary for teens to stay safe.
We are excited to team up with Lindsey of Strictly Self Defense. Attendees will participate in a series of discussions and be introduced to basic physical self-defense skills and techniques. Training will focus on three key areas: Mindset, Skill Set and Planning. Specific topics may include Situational Awareness, Bystander Intervention, Consent, Healthy Relationships, Simple Effective Strikes, How to Escape Common Grabs, and much more. In addition to learning simple self defense techniques, the self defense training will include age-appropriate discussion of self defense related topics that encourage attendees to make good decisions, to speak up when something does not seem right and to use physical techniques only if there is a real threat. The purpose of the training is to empower the attendees through self defense training.
All attendees must have a signed electronic waiver on file in order to participate. Attendees under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the waiver. Please complete the electronic waiver in advance of the event. The waiver is available at Teen Self Defense Workshop - Hinsdale Public Library (smartwaiver.com).
