WHAT’S ON HAND: USING EVERYDAY OBJECTS FOR SELF-DEFENSE

Friday, June 25 @ 4:30 PM

Since 1969, the UC Martial Arts Program (UCMAP) has trained thousands of Berkeley students, faculty, staff & community members in martial arts and self-defense.

Join UCMAP’s Vera Chan and Raymond Cheung for a free webinar discussing best practices for using everyday objects as self-defense tools and developing an awareness mindset

Vera and Ray have been training in Yongmudo, a self-defense-oriented Korean martial art, for more than half a century combined. A 2nd-degree black belt, Ray has studied different disciplines and weaponry in the combat arts since the age of 12, from aikido and sambo to foil and Chinese long spear. Vera, a 4th-degree black belt, sticks to household objects.
