Rutgers Recreation: Self Defense & Personal Safety

College Avenue Gym 130 College Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

Join RUPD for an entry level assault defense course that requires no previous martial arts training. We will discuss situational awareness and the impact awareness has on you and a potential assailant. Since physical force is a last resort, we will discuss alternative means to de-escalate a situation by either confronting an attacker or diffusing a situation. Once a situation becomes physical, the goal is to get away from the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. Come out and join RUPD for some tactical training tools that will help you protect yourself if you ever become a victim of an attack.
