Self Defense

Stronger You Martial Arts and Self Defense owner Janet Heffernan has a passion for self defense and years of experience working with children and adults with developmental delays.

The Stronger You Special Personal Safety class is tailored for developmentally delayed adults living independently or semi-independently who need skills for keeping themselves safe. Our focus is on the “NO GO TELL” model where the emphasis is on awareness, verbal assertiveness, risk assessment and disclosure.

The course is friendly and directed in part by the students own concerns. There are no scare tactics and the students will feel more confident and empowered after the eight weeks of training. Physical skills are taught as a choice of last resort. Each student is valued and encouraged to learn at his or her own pace.

Call the school to schedule a course at your location or ours. Special pricing is available to community groups and students on a fixed income.
