Spodak Dental Group routinely hosts Ladies F.I.R.S.T. Self Defense classes and you’re invited! Classes are open to ladies of all levels of athleticism, strength, flexibility and body types, and you will learn how to use physics, gravity, leverage and special techniques to deter an attacker.

Kendrick Stephens, an expert in personal defense tactics and close quarter combat, is the founder and teacher of the Ladies F.I.R.S.T. Self Defense class. According to Stephens, many women’s self-defense programs teach unrealistic techniques that promote a false sense of security and cause more harm than good. This program is the first of its kind and employs effective, “reality based” tactics that will help the attendees protect themselves under the worst of circumstances.

One out of every five American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Furthermore, 80 percent of victims are younger than 30 years old!

“The statistics are staggering,” said Dr. Craig Spodak, owner of Spodak Dental Group, “and I’m glad to be able to provide this free class to the women in our community. If I can help save someone’s life, it is well worth it.”

The Ladies F.I.R.S.T. Self Defense Training Program is being taught nationwide to individual women, groups, corporations, female school teachers, moms’ clubs, women’s sports teams, shelters for victims of assault and more.

Stephens has more than 20 years of police experience, including 16 years as a S.W.A.T. Team Member, and has participated in more than 2,000 high-risk missions where he has fought for his life on many occasions. He has 35 years of martial arts experience and black belts in four martial arts disciplines. Stephens has successfully utilized every level of force on the street, learning “first hand” just how effective reality-based combat training is when used against someone who is not as knowledgeable.

Even if you’ve attended a self defense class in the past, or if this is your first time, please join us at our upcoming classes! The knowledge and tactics are so powerful and will help you if you ever find yourself in a difficult situation.
