Don?t Be A Victim ? Tai Chi Self Defense Class

The holidays are just around the corner and that means shopping. Are you prepared, not just with your shopping list but with knowledge in how to protect yourself? We should take steps to be safe year-round, but it's especially important during the holidays. Join Mike Gentle, a certified Tai Chi Instructor, AF instructor, and Reiki Master, to learn the Five Circle Exercise. These exercises help you escape from a frontal grab, how to get out of wrist grabs, and how to hit and kick if necessary. The class will review safety tips, and address specific concerns from the audience. Remember it is easier to GET AWAY than to win the fight!! QUESTIONS: If you were walking down the street and you sensed danger, what would you do? If you were told that a loved one was hurt and you had to come help, what would you do? If a stranger walked up to shake your hand in the street, what would you do? Most people will freeze in situations if they have not practiced some skills. For information on the class contact Mike@taichimike.com. The class will be held at South Iredell Senior Center on Fri., Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. and last 60-90 minutes. The cost is $10 per person. Pre-registration is required by Tues., Nov. 10.
