Feeling Safe, Being Smart
A Personal Safety and Self Defence Clinic for Seniors
What Is the Feeling Safe, Being Smart Clinic About?
Feeling Safe, Being Smart is a 1-hour personal
safety and self defence clinic for older adults. Like our
other self defence workshops, you will explore some key mental
and physical tools to help you detect, avoid and escape a
potentially violent situation. We discuss themes like the
predator mindset, being aware of your surroundings, and how
to deal with verbal and physical intimidation. You will be
shown some basic but effective ways to keep safe and look
at ways to fight back if you need to. You can try out the
techniques under the guidance of the instructor, or just
watch and make mental notes. It is up to you. We keep it
simple. There are no fancy techniques or hard to remember
moves. Learn to work with what you’ve got and use the
tools you already have to keep safe!

who are looking to equip themselves with some practical,

This clinic has been attended by adults from 50-95 years
