Description
Concerned about your personal safety, but unsure where to begin?? You do not need to carry a firearm to start building practical defensive skills for everyday life. 😊
Situational Awareness & Pepper Spray Use is the first course in our three-part Self-Defense Life Skills Academy. In a welcoming, interactive setting, you’ll learn to pay closer attention to your surroundings, recognize potential warning signs, and think through ways to avoid trouble or create distance. You’ll also explore where pepper spray fits into a personal safety plan and practice its safe, responsible use.
Each student receives a POM pepper spray to take home. You’ll leave with a personal safety tool and a better understanding of when and how to use it responsibly.
This course is designed for people who are new to self-defense as well as experienced firearm owners who want options beyond a firearm. Come with questions. Leave with a clearer plan, greater confidence in your decisions, and practical skills you can continue to develop.
