Free self-defense class Tuesday at NIC
Learn how to recognize and avoid danger during Common Sense Self Defense, a free self-defense workshop, Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Lake Coeur d’Alene Room of North Idaho College’s Edminster Student Union Building.
The workshop will be led by certified instructors Greg Beeman and Susan Toulme from Common Sense Self Defense Northwest. Beeman is a black belt in the Filipino art of combat arnis and a 15-year law enforcement officer veteran and police defensive tactics and firearms instructor. Toulme has been involved with Common Sense Self Defense Northwest for three years with an emphasis on women’s personal protection.
The two will teach that self-defense is about security, and the best approach to security is avoidance of dangerous situations. The session will focus on crime prevention as well as techniques to survive a close-range attack.
The self-defense workshop is free and open to the public. Free popcorn will be provided to participants. The workshop is sponsored by NIC Counseling Services as part of the Food for Thought series.
