What's Happening?
Brian Douglas, a fourth-degree black belt with nearly 50 years of Taekwondo experience, is offering self-defense classes to senior citizens in Lee County. These classes aim to empower seniors by teaching them practical self-defense techniques that can enhance their personal safety and confidence. Douglas's initiative is part of a broader effort to provide seniors with the skills needed to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations.
Why It's Important?
As the senior population grows, there is an increasing need for programs that address their safety and well-being. Self-defense classes for seniors not only provide physical benefits but also contribute to mental health by boosting confidence and reducing anxiety about personal safety. This initiative highlights the importance of community programs that cater to the unique needs of older adults, promoting independence and resilience among this demographic.
