Tucson’s Rising Phoenix Self-Defense School is offering classes to marginalized communities who need them to feel safe in the community.
Instructor Victoria Suchanek says it's especially important for those who have experienced violent traumas in their lives. The 1-hour sessions started back in 2015.
People from both the women’s and Rainbow Connection classes spent part of their Tuesday afternoon getting an education in safety, instructors use Krav Maga techniques to train students. "I’ve heard stories from people who were having a good time with their friends and were walking back to their car, had been at a gay club and someone was waiting outside and attacked them near their car,” Redman said.
"We get people who are gay, straight, men, women, transgender, ace we’re all over the spectrum everyone is welcome. We have a really big belief in healthy human connection,” Redman said.
