Hope Unlimited is sponsoring a safety and self defense training course March 2 at Allen County Regional Hospital.
Darryl Mobley of Kansas City will offer a two-part session. The first is a lecture on how to be fully aware of your surroundings and being physically and mentally prepared for all situations. Discussions on verbal techniques and safety for children also will be discussed.
The second part focuses on hands-on self-defense techniques.
Registration costs $25 per person, and must be done in advance by calling Hope Unlimited, 365-6040.
The course is open to both men and women, ages 12 and older.
Organizers note that because of the sensitive nature of the material and techniques, there may be some harsh language or situations discussed.
