Operation Tigers Self-Defense

The numbers are staggering and yet many don't want to believe it because an abuser in public can be drastically different from the abuser in private.

Domestic abuse can come in many forms, including emotional and psychological abuse. Nearly half of all men and women experience this form of abuse from an intimate partner. Unhealthy and abusive behaviors often begin long before abuse becomes physical. Abusers use emotional abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse, intimidation, and other tactics to establish power and control over their partners.

There are no rules in self-defense; you do what you have to do to escape.

While their are many components to self-defense how you respond to an incident is critical . Lightening and thunder are easy to remember and implement in a situation where your life is on the line. Just remember to also breath.

Two and four hour self-defense courses are definitely better than nothing, but a 45-hour class through the University of Alaska Community Technical College is the best was to go. The Self-Defense and Personal Safety class covers a wide range of topics and gives students an opportunity to spend time getting physical techniques sharpened and memorized. The Spring 2020 class will run from January 13, 2020 to May 2, 2020. The class is considered a Special Topics class, but is found under RECR. The class meets at the Student Recreation Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Class catalog information: CRN 37487 - RECR F193-TE1. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I apologize for the delay in offering classes. After having surgery on both shoulders in 2017, I have had a few setbacks in the healing process. Please be patient as I will be posting classes as soon as I am able to. Thank you for your understanding.

Coming this fall, I will be teaching a semester long self-defense & personal safety class through the University of Alaska Fairbanks Community Technical College. If you are interested in a class where you will have the time to learn and practice newly acquired skills, then this is something you might consider.

On November 19, two MUNIO Self Defense Workshops were held in Anchorage. During my time in Anchorage I met some amazing ladies; their enthusiasm made for energetic yet educational classes which is always the goal. The evening class was held at the 49th State Brewing Company where after class, which was held in the basement, we went upstairs to a private room for cocktail hour. Thank you to all those who attended the workshops and to the 49th State Brewing Company for the amazing food and service.
