Women’s Self-Defense Program

The Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department (WCPRD) is pleased to announce a new women’s self-defense program called ‘The Equalizer’ at Academy Park Gym, 120 Everbright Ave. ‘The Equalizer’ is taught by Certified Williamson County Sheriff’s Office Deputies, and provides training in how to reduce the risk of sexual assault, as well as self-defense techniques. Knowing these techniques is a great confidence booster for all women, including high school and college students.

 

The four-week course meets on Wednesday nights, July 29-August 19, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The course is for adults and teens age 15 or older. Teens age 15-17 must have a parent-signed release. Registration is required by July 22.

 

‘The Equalizer’ course is free, but students must purchase a $26 training manual. To register, call (615) 790-5719, ext. 2010. Open to the public. For more information, go to www.williamsoncounty-tn.gov/womensselfdefense.
