H.U.G.S Sponsor Women’s Self Defense Seminar Sept. 15

Do you know how to protect yourself? According to RAINN, every two minutes someone in the United States is sexually assaulted. 

Foxborough and Sharon H.U.G.S. organizations are aiming to combat that statistic by bringing much needed attention to the pervasive and devastating crimes of sexual violence. 

Local women and teens will now have the opportunity to learn how to protect themselves and family members at the H.U.G.S. sponsored Women’s Self defense Seminar.

The Women’s Self Defense Seminar will take place on September 15 from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m at Personal Best Karate in Foxborough. The seminar will teach self defense skills for women and teens including some vital strategies regarding personal safety and basic self defense skills. This skill set crosses the life span and is applicable for all women, all ages and all degrees of fitness.

There is no fee to attend this seminar. H.U.G.S will be accepting monetary donations or tolietries, diapers or canned goods for families in need.

Seminar participants will be entered in a drawing for a Kick Boxing membership courtesy of Personal Best.
