Self Defense Classes: By Community

In our "Senior Shield" program, we go beyond physical safety to address the full spectrum of threats that seniors may encounter, both in the digital realm and in public spaces.

**Online Threats:** In today's digital age, online scams and fraud pose significant risks to seniors. We provide practical, easy-to-understand fraud prevention strategies tailored specifically for seniors. You'll learn how to identify common online scams, protect your personal information, and safely navigate the internet to shield your finances from cybercriminals.

**Public Safety:** While being out and about, seniors can sometimes find themselves in situations where personal safety is a concern. That's why our program includes unarmed self-defense techniques designed to empower you to confidently handle unexpected physical threats. We also understand that mobility may vary among seniors, so we've incorporated chair-based self-defense techniques, ensuring that everyone can participate and feel secure.

With our comprehensive approach, you'll gain not only the physical skills but also the knowledge and awareness needed to safeguard yourself and your finances. Don't let fraud cast a shadow on your golden years—take control and stay safe with us. "Senior Shield" is here to equip you with the tools to enjoy your retirement with confidence and peace of mind.
