During this class students will learn both verbal self-defense and some physical techniques they can use. We will discuss various myths that society has told us and learn what the truth is behind those. No previous knowledge is required however a willingness to yell and a safe area to practice the moves is essential. Each Lesson will consist of a worksheet, short lecture and techniques. The worksheets are designed to help the student think about the topic for that lesson and is encouraged to add their answers into the classroom for discussion. As well, students can add a recording of themselves practicing the techniques so that as a class we can learn from each other and provide feedback on the technique. Breakdown of Lessons: Day 1: introduction to self-defense, personal safety, awareness techniques (this lesson is the longest lecture) Day 2: defining your space, using verbal self-defense, protective stance and the beginnings of physical self-defense Day 3: learning/practicing to use elbows and kicks for self-defense Day 4: learning/practicing to break holds
Other Details
Parental Guidance
When discussing the myths or reasons why self-defense may be used there may be sensitive topics that come up (e.g. if a student shares a story about being bullied or news report relevant to the topic that the class wants to discuss). Self-defense is typically used to escape from a predator so the scenarios may include thinking about what an attacker might look like; however I do try to ensure that any stories or information that is given is always kept within the classroom and all students are treated with respect.
Supply List
All worksheets will be posted on the classroom page. A safe open area is essential to practice the techniques.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a competitive kickboxer and own my own studio where self-defense is one of the skills that I teach. I have been coaching kickboxing for 3 years and during that time ran self-defense seminars throughout the year.
As a mother I want to know that my children will be able to protect themselves if something was to happen and to learn to be aware of surroundings so that they stay safe.
