Three weeks ago, Concord University’s Students for Campus Safety organization put together a self-defense class open to all students. The class was well-attended with over twenty participants, all but a few of them were female Concord students.
The class, organized by Students for Campus Safety president Keri Svendsen, was taught by Chief Deputy Darrell B. Bailey from the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department with assistance from Corporal L.B. Murphy. Deputy Bailey provided an informational handout with detailed information about both how to potentially deter attackers and how to react in multiple scenarios if you are attacked, including how to escape from a hair grab and a choke hold.
When asked if they hope to hold the class again, Svendsen said “We’re hoping to aim for every semester, and he’s willing to do it”.
Overall the class seemed to be a success, with all who attended enjoying the chance to learn how to protect themselves.
