The Cerro Coso Community College Office of Community Education is offering a "Basic Self Defense" class in Ridgecrest March 26 - May 1, 2013. The course will meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Room 407 located in the College Gymnasium.

Sam Basco will instruct the 12 hour course on how to defend oneself against the most common strikes. Counter-attack techniques using punches, elbows, knees and foot along with locks and holds will be taught. Students will also learn how to return to a standing position when down along with safety and awareness techniques.

The ultimate goal of this class is to help participants develop the confidence and capability to promote peace while effectively protecting themselves and others from physical harm.
