Self-Defense for Seniors
Peter Honigmann, Founder and Head Instructor, Best Defense Concepts, LLC
I've been teaching teaching self-defense to seniors at libraries, senior centers, park districts and retirement centers throughout Northern Illinois since 2012. My presentations to seniors focus on being observant, using verbal skills to de-escalate a situation, complying with demands for property, and then only as a last resort using very simple self-defense techniques to disable an attacker, including: the use of a cane or walking stick, improvised weapons such as pens, flashlights, and magazines, and the use of pepper spray. MORE >
I include inspiring stories of other seniors who have successfully defended themselves against various attacks.I am only available to give presentations weekday evenings and weekends, and limit my travel to suburbs north of Chicago.
