A greater awareness of danger is called for when the time change brings us early dark days and cold, dark mornings. While everyone needs to pay more attention in the seasonal time change, women especially need to increase their vigilance as predators often use darkness as cover. While spending time out and about shopping women would be more vulnerable to assaults as they are often alone, in unfamiliar settings and distracted by holiday stresses.

Join the Robinson's, Sacramento's first name in family martial arts, for a special free clinic in safety awareness and simple self defense. Just keeping personal safety in mind helps increase the odds against any problems. By learning some simple self defense and practicing escape scenarios keeping yourself and your family safe is much easier.

A great turnout last year, and requests for more opportunity to attend these free clinics,  has prompted Robinson's Taekwondo to offer two different sessions in 2009. On Friday, November 13th the first free clinic is offered at 6:30 PM, and a second 90 minute session will now be available on Saturday, November 14th beginning at 11 AM. The clinics will be offered at all eighteen Sacramento regional Robinson's TKD locations. Visit www.robinsonstkd.com to reserve space at a location near you. 

Women will unite with Robinson's Black Belt instructors who will empower them with information, self defense technique and the confidence of knowing how to respond in the dark days ahead. Just by attending, women will come away with a safety 'mindset' that goes a long way toward keeping them from harm.
