On Sunday November 17, NCVV’s Board of Directors sponsored a free, two hour self defense class taught by 5th degree black belt Jean Morrison and her assistants Rowena and Kim. A dozen Valley Village stakeholders learned how to defend themselves by exploiting the vulnerable areas of an attacker, and how to think quickly in stressful situations. With hands-on practice and personalized guidance, attendees practiced a variety of self defense techniques on pads held by the instructors that represented the head, legs, and body of assailants. Ms. Morrison also provided information about the legalities of fighting back in the home versus outside the home. Jean Morrison currently offers Taekwondo and self defense classes at Evolution Studios on Burbank Blvd. Monday evenings.
