On Thursday, June 18th, Karate World will host a personal safety workshop for women ages 16 and up. Participants will learn how to defend themselves against common attacks, how to handle other real world self-defense scenarios, and how to recognize “The Five Stages of Violent Crime.” This workshop will be especially valuable for the college bound. The event will be held from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. Our live seminar is offered free of charge, but you must register to reserve your spot.
The “Five Stages of Violent Crime” is an internationally recognized pattern in abusive and violent act scenarios. These Five Stages are processes that take time to develop. The actual attack or assault is not the first step in a violent act. Three preliminary steps always occur before an act of violence and two steps follow – Intent, Interview and Positioning, then the Attack and the victim’s Response.
Karate World’s seminar is designed to teach women how to eliminate the violent scenario before it happens, to avert the crime altogether. Unlike a purely self-defense based approach to personal safety and protection, our seminar is designed to develop effective strategies to avoid the likelihood of the violent act occurring in the first place.
According to Karate World co-owner Michelle Brugger, “Our goal is to empower women by teaching them how to recognize and avoid dangerous situations. We realize that not everybody has the time to participate in a Martial Arts program, but everyone can benefit from being well-informed and knowing how to respond in a potentially dangerous scenario.”
Karate World instructors are certified by The National Security Alliance’s Kid-Safe & Women-Safe Network. These networks are non-profit organizations that provide free safety and danger awareness seminars, fairs and family workshops across the United States and Canada designed to educate parents, educators and citizens about the dangers women and children face every day.
