Fight Back class for women

CRESCO - Cresco Wildlife Club is hosting a Fight Back class for women. It is being held on Saturday, June 4, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Wildlife Club on the Howard County fairgrounds.

It is possible to live your life free from fear.  Female Fight Back is a self-defense course designed specifically for the attacks that happen against women and has been taught all over the world!  

This unique, and extremely effective course uses a one-technique approach that can be applied in any situation and has been taught with success to women ranging in ages from 16 to over 60.  

The instructors go through a certification process that can last upwards of four years before being approved to teach this course. 

Organizers are very aware of the sensitive nature of this type of class and respect that.  It is always the woman’s choice to take part in, or sit out, any part of the training.  

The goal of the class is to ensure that participants get home safely to those who love them and need them back.
