Self-Defense Classes

ALL CURRENT PRATT STUDENTS, STAFF, AND FACULTY ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND! Please bring your Pratt ID card to class
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CLASSES, CONTACT selfdefense@pratt.edu

The self-defense modules are designed to interlock in developing techniques and skills which have been proven to work for the non-martial artist against full power attacks from an assailant. We teach awareness, avoidance, space management, and a system of resisting assaults using simple to learn gross-body movements that take advantage of your natural instincts, which are easier to remember under stress.

Please note that classes run for 6 consecutive weeks and you must attend (1) one of the (4) classes offered per week in order to successfully complete the course.
