Lakeville Area Community Education

Ages 10-18

Safety starts before self-defense. In this engaging youth class, students learn how awareness, confidence, and clear boundaries keep them safe in everyday situations, both in person and online. Through age-appropriate discussion and hands-on practice, participants explore situational awareness, de-escalation, listening to their instincts, and making smart choices on social media. Students practice using strong voices and confident body language, setting boundaries with “No” and “Stop,” building strength through movement, and learning safe, effective self-defense techniques like punches, kicks, blocks, and breaking wrist grabs. The result is a fun, empowering experience that builds knowledge, strength, and lasting confidence, helping kids feel prepared and safe in the real world and the digital one.
