KNX Fitness and the Marion County Sheriff’s Department are offering a self-defense class this Saturday.

The class will be an introduction to Krav Maga, a self-defense system developed for and utilized by Israeli Defense Forces. Organizer of the event Michaela Bigouette tells KNIA/KRLS News this class can get you prepared to help defend yourself especially if some of your activities or hobbies can place you in a dangerous situation, like running early in the morning or late at night by yourself, and in this day and age safety is a big concern and it’s better to be proactive than reactive. The class will be taught by the owners of Triumph Martial Arts in Pella and Clive, Matt and Chris White. Learn more about the self-defense class on today’s Let’s Talk Knoxville.
