In honor of International Woman’s Day, participate in a free self-defense program at the Gail Borden Library South Elgin Branch.

Lindsey Daehnke’s goal is to empower members of her community to make smart decisions while working and living, by creating awareness around the importance of having a self-defense mindset.

In addition to learning simple self defense techniques, the self defense training will include discussion of self defense related topics that encourage attendees to make good decisions, to speak up when something does not seem right and to use physical techniques only if there is a real threat.

Registration required.
