Don't Be A Victim - Self Defense Basics |
Expecting a typical run-of-the-mill “padded man” self-defense course? Think again. Our street-smarts course teaches real "hands-on” defenses against the most common, dangerous, and deadly attack holds predators use to control, victimize, and endanger our lives. Practicing with both fellow students and the instructor, students will be taught how to defend/remove themselves from legitimate dangerous holds/attacks such as: bear-hugs, headlocks, pulling/grabbing of clothes/hair/hands, neck chokes, and ground/on-your back-attacks if you happen to fall down. To help ensure your safety, students will also learn proper counterattack techniques to assist with the process of getting away without further harm. No discounts. Limited to 24.

The World's Healthiest Diets |
How we eat is a key factor in gaining and maintaining good health. As our American diet has changed so has our health.
Rates of heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes have increased with the modern Standard American Diet (SAD). We are not alone, as heavily processed and fast foods spread around the world so do these "diseases of affluence". We will take a historical and cross-cultural approach to food. Looking at pre-agricultural diets and changes in 19th and 20th century American diets will help us gain perspective on what we eat today. Looking cross-culturally, we will see how other diets have developed around the world where people have low heart disease, diabetes, and lower rates of certain cancers. We will consider common elements to these healthy diets and how they can help us improve our health.
