Thanks to a generous grant from the Parents’ Association, Stuyvesant is offering a free two-hour self-defense class to seniors this April. In the class, students will learn both situational awareness and defense tactics. This special class will include recommendations for how students can confidently and safely handle themselves in college.
· With sessions capped at 30 students each, your child can expect to receive individual attention.
· The first hour addresses common safety scenarios, how to avoid being a target, and street smarts.
· The second hour is physical, covering the most helpful defensive moves (no prior knowledge necessary).
· The class will be taught by martial-arts and self-defense expert Gabrielle Rubin and will be supervised by Stuyvesant staff.
The Deadline to fill out the form for the first session is 4/7; for the second session 4/12.
· Your child will be assigned a specific session: Mon 4/8; Tues 4/16; or Wed 4/17 (all from 3:45-5:45)
