Clyde, N.C. – MedWest Health System is hosting the Strike Back Women’s Self Defense club presented by Blue Dragon Tae Kwon Do founder and instructor Marshall Hale beginning Wednesday, April 25 at MedWest Health & Fitness Center on the campus of MedWest-Haywood in Clyde. 

Hale has an extensive background in martial arts instruction and emergency service work spanning three decades. In the Strike Back Women’s Self Defense club sessions, Hale will present a clear and practical approach to vital aspects of public and personal safety for women. His instruction will focus on avoiding victimization with common-sense awareness and preventive measures and responding to an act of violence with defensive force and escape maneuvers. 

The Strike Back club will meet from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. every other Wednesday starting April 25 at the MedWest Health & Fitness Center. Women can enroll by purchasing a five-visit punchcard, which fitness center members may buy for $20 and non-members may buy for $35. Participants also may opt for a 10-visit punchcard which is $35 for members and $60 for non-members. Punchcards are interchangeable and may be used for participation in the regular Blue Dragon adult Tae Kwon Do classes at the MedWest Health & Fitness Center.
