Woodstock, IL - March 15, 2009 - Girl Scout Troop 337 took part in a two hour self-defense seminar at Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts. Troop Leader Donna Warner joined in as Black Belt Instructors Kurt and Carolyn Schulenburg provided a tour, lecture and physical workout for the girls, demonstrating the need for vigilance and a proactive stance about safety in Woodstock.
The tour portion was a walk about the Square, highlighting potential danger areas and showcasing safe havens as well. The speaking portion highlighted the need for a mixture of awareness and common sense as the first line of self-defense while the physical workout showed the girls how strong they could be in a panic situation.
The girls learned how to escape from a variety of common holds and how to punch and kick effectively. Culminating with elbow strikes, the girls were delighted when each broke their own 12" X 12" X 3/4" wooden board.
Participating were troop members Danielle Hurmis, Leah Warner, Jolene Warner, Madison Schnulle.
