Self-Defense Life Skills Academy Series

Description

Northpointe Training’s Self-Defense Life Skills Academy is for anyone who has ever wondered, “What could I do to protect myself or help someone else in an emergency??”

You do not need prior experience or any interest in carrying a firearm. You just need a desire to be better prepared for yourself and the people you love. Bring your questions, practice useful skills in a welcoming setting, and leave with more confidence in what you can do.

The Academy includes three two-hour courses at The Brigade Shooting Company. You may take any course on its own or join us for all three:

• Course 1: Situational Awareness & Pepper Spray Use, Tuesday, October 20, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
• Course 2: Flashlight Use, Impact Tools & Environmental Weapons, Thursday, October 22, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
• Course 3: American College of Surgeons Stop the Bleed®, Friday, October 23, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Together, the courses help you recognize concerns sooner, consider practical self-defense options, and learn how to respond to severe bleeding. Students who complete Course 3 and its hands on skills receive an ACS certificate of completion. 🥰
