The Columbus Police Department will host a self defense class at the Trotter Convention Center July 28.
The CPD released the announcement about the class via Twitter Wednesday. The proceeds from the class will go to the CPD’s celebration of National Night Out Against Crime, an event to raise community awareness about law enforcement.
The class begins at 7 p.m. and lasts an hour. Enrollment is $10.
Self defense specialist Claude E. Long will instruct the class. In 2011 Long won a medal for international Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and second place in the European BJJ in the Masters Level category. He is also a seven time North American Grappling Association champion and two time European champion. Community Police Officer Rhonda Sanders and other officers will also instruct at the class.
Saum Chiropractor Clinic will also be on hand to offer stress tests for $35.
For more information, contact Sanders at 251-7355 or 244-3500.
