Mohawk Valley Community College’s Center for Corporate and Community Education is offering two virtual self-defense classes—Weapons Protection Clinic and Senior Self-Defense.

Weapons Protection Clinic will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. May 14 via Zoom, and will cover avoiding, managing, and surviving armed assailant scenarios involving edged weapons, bludgeons, and firearms. Participants will develop a greater understanding and awareness of these weapons and also will learn decision-making skills for active shooter, mugging, and intimidation scenarios. This course is designed for those 12 years or older; no experience is necessary.

Senior Self-Defense will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. June 16 via Zoom, and will cover the most common scenarios senior citizens may face in their everyday lives. The class will focus on methods the average senior can use to avoid, manage, and survive potentially violent encounters. This course is designed for those 55 years and older; no experience is necessary.
