Self-defense skills are vital for everyone, and Ms. Barlow has taken an important step in teaching her 9-12 classes how to protect themselves in case of danger.
During these self-defense classes, students learn various techniques to get out of dangerous situations, such as chokeholds, two-hand grabs, cross-arm grabs, and straddles, among others. They also receive valuable information on how to deal with potential attackers, such as never being taken to a second location and fighting or screaming even if the attacker says otherwise.
Furthermore, the students watch informative videos during the class on topics such as how to survive being locked in a trunk. These skills are crucial and could potentially save their lives in case they ever find themselves in a dangerous situation. Self-defense classes not only teach students how to protect themselves, but they also improve their awareness of their surroundings and themselves. By taking these classes, students may be able to identify dangerous situations more quickly and take appropriate actions to protect themselves.
