The world can be a depressing place, especially when you watch the news. It seems like there is a trend of violence against women that keeps popping up.

I believe that every person, should have some basic self defense skills that they will hopefully never need to use. That is where my friend Suzanne Ramsden comes in.

Suzanne is the owner of Maverick Training Center/Atos Jiu-Jitsu Huntsville. She is only female in Huntsville who has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Her daughter Julia has a purple belt in BJJ and is an amateur fighter as well.

Suzanne and Julia are hosting a Community Self Defense Awareness Seminar on Sunday May 21st from 2-4pm. They wanted to offer self defense techniques specifically for women, taught by women. They found that a lot of the techniques taught in self defense classes only work for bigger, stronger men.

What would you do if someone grabbed your wrist and you could not get away? What if you are alone in a parking lot and someone is aggressively approaching you? What if you are on the ground and somebody is on top of you with both hands around your throat choking you?

These are very serious situations that could potentially turn deadly. Please watch this video to learn the techniques that could one day save your life.

 

If you want to learn more about these techniques or if you want to sign up for the seminar call Suzanne Ramsden at 256.797.6025 or e-mail sramsden@mavericktraining.net
