“Morning Joe” Event is designed for ages 13-adult planned for March 22
Naperville-based RJM Strategy Group is partnering with Bolingbrook’s The Range at 355 to host “Real-World Safety/Self-Defense” – a seminar for teens and adults of all ages – on Saturday, March 22 from 10:00-11:30 am. The workshop is being offered as part of The Academy at 355, a learning track designed to provide essential instruction on safety-related topics; the Morning Joe events feature Gun Barrel Coffee and light breakfast bites.
The Real-World Safety/Self-Defense workshop is intended to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves in domestic or street violence situations. It is especially designed for those with little to no self-defense knowledge or experience. Instruction will be led by retired police officers Ray McGury and Chuck May who also are certified Krav Maga instructors.
The workshop will include 30 minutes of instruction on situational awareness, personal safety and avoiding confrontations and assaults. The subsequent 60 minutes will instruct participants in basic self-defense skills that they can use right away.
“We will begin with an overview of situational awareness, focusing on the importance of personal safety,” McGury explained. “We drive home the importance of not being constantly distracted by cell phones and other devices, because that’s when people are most vulnerable to crimes of opportunity.”
The cost to attend is $15/person; teens ages 13-17 years old may participate with a parent or guardian-signed waiver. Attendees aged 18 and older will need to sign a waiver the day of the event prior to participating.
The Range at 355 is located at 9003 Murphy Road in Bolingbrook. Pre-registration for this event is required; visit www.range355.com or call 630-739-9000.
