\n\u201cIn light of the recent happenings in the news about horrific acts taking place in schools and community buildings, we, as business owners, need to take all the steps we can to protect our community members,\u201d said Dr. Craig Spodak, owner of Spodak Dental Group. \u201cIf I can help to save one person\u2019s life, it\u2019s all worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
All female community members, regardless of age, athleticism, strength, flexibility and body types, were invited to participate, and roughly 30 people were in attendance. Attendees learned how to use gravity, leverage and technique to deter an attacker.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a technique won\u2019t work against a motivated attacker, I won\u2019t teach it. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d says Ken Stephens, Founder of Ladies F.I.R.S.T.™\u00a0Self Defense.<\/p>\n
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in five women is raped during her lifetime, and one in three women have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.<\/p>\n
