Saturday June 9th 10:00AM-5:00PM
The Rape Assistance & Awareness Program is excited to offer the popular 6 hour Self-Protection & Empowerment Training (SET) classes at the Colorado Organization For Victim Assistance (COVA). COVA is located at 90 Galapago St, Denver, CO 80223. The classes are taught by well-trained female instructors with a background in self-defense and a dedication to the elimination of sexual violence and oppression. All classes (regardless of length) spend about 20% of class time on mental, 30% on verbal, and 50% on physical techniques. The SET program provides options for how to deal with a spectrum of circumstances, from harassment to potentially life-threatening situations. SET classes are based on the fundamental principle that empowered, active resistance is effective.*
