Instructor Dave DeVore, former Defensive Tactics Instructor and Fifth Degree Black Belt in Filipino Martial Arts Hufana Traditional Arnis International, will teach hands-on instruction in situational awareness, boundary setting, and effective physical defense strategies that can be applied in everyday life scenarios. The program emphasizes prevention first, equipping participants with tools to recognize and avoid potential threats whenever possible.
