In this class participants will learn techniques for maintaining their stance and footing, escaping from several different grabs, and working as a team with their friends and allies. We will be doing physical drills and practicing movements to help maintain and regain physical autonomy, as well as running through verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to make ourselves and those around us safer and more capable in self-defense situations.

Kiyoshi is a martial artist of 19 years with a passion for bringing effective self defense to diverse communities. Kiyoshi has trained extensively in both armed and unarmed styles such as Capoeira, Kali/Eskrima, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, and anything else they could get their hands on. Kiyoshi loves bringing the empowerment of self-defense to everyone who needs it.

Charlie has been teaching deescalation and principles of combat arts since 2021. In approaching this work, he centers consent, joy, and trust-building. He is constantly learning from the people he teaches, and realizes that “defense” is incredibly subjective and contextual. Each of you has survived so much already, and only you know what will work for you! As an instructor, Charlie hopes to give you tools to hone your survival skills, build your confidence and self-worth, deepen your relationship to yourself and others, and be even more badass than you ever thought possible.

preparednessOn Wed., April 22, 2015, the 2nd Annual EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS KIT DAY will take place in the main lobby of the PUB, Building 9000.  The event occurs from 10:00am to 2:30pm and is open to everyone. Back by popular demand, the event supports the idea that we hope we will never have to use the kit, but a number of things could happen in our daily lives that could cause us to need an emergency kit.

Stop by to learn how to better prepare yourself for an emergency incident at work, home, and on the road. See the many ideas and options available for pre-made kits, do it yourself lists, and emergency food and water storage preparation.  Take the short, fun quiz to test your knowledge on emergency readiness on campus.

We are excited to announce we will be drawing the name of the employee who attended Winter Quarter’s “Get Ready Take Action” Training and entered the drawing for a new Grab ‘n Go Emergency Kit. The kit is self-contained in a backpack with a 3 day supply of emergency products.

We are grateful to the sponsors that will be supporting this educational event, including: Shelf Reliance – Thrive Foods, Costco, Sam’s Club, the SCC Safety Committee, Student Leadership, and SCC Emergency Management.

We look forward to seeing you there!
