April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention month. In observance, the University Police Department is offering free Krav Maga (KRAUV-MUH-GAH) self-defense courses. Hebrew for "contact combat", Krav Maga was originally used by Israeli Defense Forces. The university police will be offering two female-only and two co-ed courses this week and next week. Students can expect to learn proper defense techniques and threat-neutralizing moves. In addition to the physical training, each class will feature a lecture portion to help heighten a person's awareness and avoid dangerous situations.
