Freedom NWPA will offer a situational awareness and self-defense program at the Scrubgrass Grange on June 17.

The class is based on Westover Protection’s Reality Street Offense & Defense Protection Level 1, Targets class, said an email from Scrubgrass Grange. The interactive, hands-on training will focus on situational awareness, prevention, personal safety and practical self-defense strategies for everyday life.

Participants can engage in guided practice exercises designed to build confidence, awareness and preparedness in real-world situations. No prior self-defense experience is necessary, and the program is appropriate for beginners and children who are accompanied by an adult.

The class will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 17, at Scrubgrass Grange, 5104 Emlenton-Clintonville Road, Emlenton.
