PEH - 180 Rape Education and Self Defense

(2 s.h.)

Fundamental Self-Defense Theory is a course of study designed to introduce the participant to basic self-defense concepts and techniques, to heighten the participant’s level of awareness and alertness in her environment, to provide the participant with information about violent contexts, and to provide the participant with basic physical methods of self-defense. In general, this course cannot offer absolutes; however, the theory behind such a course rests in the concept that those armed with information and a few operational options stand a better chance of avoiding and, when avoidance fails, surviving violence.
