The workshop covers situational awareness to avoid becoming a victim of crime on the street or elsewhere, and what one can do to escape or fend off serious injury/assault using simple techniques.  The instructor will demonstrate the techniques and ask for volunteers from the audience to help demo or try out techniques if they want to.

The instructor is Gail Boxrud, Director/Instructor for Krav Maga Minneapolis, 21 years experience.

Saturday, Nov. 2 • 12–2 PM • free
Bryant Sq Park Rec Center: 3101 Bryant Ave S
snacks + beverages provided

This event is sponsored by the East Bde Maka Ska Neighborhood Association and South Uptown Neighborhood Association, and Youth Legacy of South Whittier.

Walk the neighborhood as a community! The goal of these walks is to build bonds and send a strong signal that this community is working together to keep itself taken care of and safe. We will also clean litter as we walk. Any volunteers will receive a free Community Safety Shirt and knit cap.

Statistically over time crime does tend to fall in neighborhoods with this practice, though this will not have an immediate impact on crime. There is no silver bullet to defeating the challenges our community faces, so every little bit we can do helps! If you are interested or have questions about the Safety Walks, feel free to reach out to David Ratner.
