Self-Defense for Women and Men – “Be Aware, Be Safe” Workshop

When Scott Lewis first contacted me about doing a self-defense workshop, I didn’t know quite what to think. After talking back and forth about it for a while Scott said, “Why don’t I just come and show you?”

And that’s when the light came on.

Scott spent and hour with Dean, me, and the kids, teaching us just a few self-defense techniques. He explained his philosophy (running away, or being able to run away, is a good thing) and then showed us some of what he will be teaching in this workshop.

The best part?

He made a very serious subject a blast!

Self defense is not fighting, it’s escaping from an attack with as little harm as possible. It’s not about winning, it’s about never losing.

Scott is a Jiu-Jitsu trainer and a teacher, and he will be coming to Get Fit NH Concord on November 3^rd from 9-11. Scott is leading a seminar and hands on (literally) workshop on Self Defense.

I, and this is Nancy writing, want to know how to protect myself. I might be able to do the pushup challenge, but I also need to use that strength wisely if needed.

While at ‘Be Safe,’ Scott will discuss distance management from standing against an aggressive attacker. He will cover some simple postures one can take when being grabbed. My favorite (I think because I have three brothers) is learning to escape a bigger stronger attacker. Other areas taught and discussed will be cover escapes, body positions and a couple of submissions points.

‘Be Safe’ has a mission to teach everyone a little about an attack and how they might survive it, hoping they’ll never have to use it.

Scott Lewis has been training Jiu-Jitsu for 16 years and teaching on the pro level for the past 8 years. He attended the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy and took first place in the Gracie Worlds Tournament – Blue Belt. (Author’s Note: Don’t mess with Scott)

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn ways to keep yourself safer and have a lot of fun doing it. I want as many of you Ladies (and guys, you better come too 🙂 to join me – Make It Happen
