Description
This class is for boys entering their teens years. They are at home without parental supervision for longer periods of time, walking to a friend's house or to school, riding bikes or taking the bus with one or two friends. They are exploring the world, often without direct adult supervision. On top of that, you may be concerned about peer pressure and a cultural environment that promotes unhealthy relationship behavior.
They could use some skills to help make up for the experience they don’t yet have.
In this 3 hour class boys will learn how to recognize “red flags” for (a) a perpetrator who is grooming them for sexual assault, or (b) a “challenge” to goad them into a fight. They will learn about safe exits from iffy situations, practice physical moves (just in case), and learn to ask for help from supportive adults. And they will learn why (and when) to intervene if they witness bullying and abuse.
All in age appropriate language and concepts.

Strategic Living, LLC, has been helping women, girls, and boys discover their inner super-sheros since 2003. We have taught self-defense to women from six to senior, from sorority sisters to grandmothers and business executives, homeless women and those in transitional housing, and just about everyone in between. We have held classes for dorms and sororities, law firms, restaurant employees, manufacturing facilities, medical clinics, YMCA and YWCA groups, Angeline's Center (homeless women's day shelter), Opportunity Place and other transitional housing sites, the Veterans' Administration Medical Center, Providence Everett Medical Center, girl scout troops, book clubs, and groups of families and friends who wanted to be safer.
