APOA Scottsdale women’s self-defense workshop at The Clayton House
Staff Reports | Digital Free Press
Arizona Police Officers Association is hosting a FREE Women’s Public Safety and Self Defense Workshop at the Clayton House in Old Town Scottsdale from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Monday, June 26, at The Clayton House.
The Clayton House is at 3719 N. 75th St., across from the Scottsdale City Jail.
The workshop mission is to empower attendees to be more assured and competent in the areas of public safety and personal self-defense utilizing outside-of-the-box intelligence and tactics not normally taught in a standard self-defense class, proponents of the event report.
The U.S. Secret Service and Dignitary Protection Details consider an actual physical force encounter as a failure on their part as many layers of security were either not implemented or not properly addressed. This workshop is designed to minimize and ideally eliminate an actual physical encounter from even occurring.
During this workshop, attendees will learn to recognize where the most violent encounters occur and how to utilize many natural improvised weapons created by these environments.
Also, they will learn proven psychological tactics to make them appear to be hard targets and immediately change how they defend themselves and those they love. Hosts the event say attendees will learn about the fight or flight response that affects everyone and then learn how to manage this response to their advantage and to their predator’s disadvantage.
