Self defense Starts with self awareness

LongmontFYI Business News: "Ninety percent of self-defense is risk awareness, risk reduction,” says Monica Hall, founder of Active 1 Self Defense.

Hall should know. She’s been a martial arts instructor for more than a decade and is obtaining her second-degree black belt."

Hall said the workshop teaches the ABCs of self-defense: awareness, boundaries and combat — if necessary. “The majority of the scenarios that take place can be avoided by just your voice and your body posture,” she said.
