Self-Protection, Environmental Awareness, and Rape Education

“S.P.E.A.R.E.” (Self-Protection, Environmental Awareness, Rape Education), is an all-encompassing self-preservation class. This is simply not your typical self-defense seminar. Rather than focusing solely on escaping an attacker, S.P.E.A.R.E seeks to arm participants with the knowledge needed to avoid situations before they become physical. An in-depth PowerPoint presentation reveals the stark reality of violence and sexual assaults in America, the danger of date rape drugs, and even what a rapist looks for in a victim. It seeks to educate participants on everything from being aware of your surroundings to escaping an attack; tactics that are especially important for women of all ages.

Following the lecture, you will embark on an interactive defensive tactics class that focuses on techniques that anyone can employ. Sgt. Eric M Enck, the founder of S.P.E.A.R.E., brings with him 34 years of training in and instructing the martial arts, 14 years instructing defensive tactics at the Tennessee State Police Academy, 16 years of Law Enforcement experience, and he is also 2 times Officer of the Year. The maneuvers you will learn are meant to be simple yet effective in defending against and escaping an assailant.
