From 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 17, Jacomet’s Martial Arts, 121 S Main St, will host a self-defense class for ages 13 to adult. A similar class was held on December 7, 2024.

Owner/instructor Tony Jacomet explains, “This class will teach and practice several simple but highly effective techniques to address a variety of threatening scenarios. Prevention strategies, assertive de-escalation and what to do after a self-defense event will also be discussed.”

Doors will open at 10:15 a.m. All ability levels are welcome. The cost of the class is $5 per person. 

Cold water will be available for $1, or you're welcome to bring water from home.

To ensure quality instruction, space is limited and places in the program are not reserved until payment is made.
