For the first time in more than 20 years, the Underwood Defendo system will be offered in Sudbury.

This unique self-defence course is designed for people who may not consider themselves athletic. It teaches individuals how, with little strength and
athletic ability, they can take control of a larger attacker.

The introduction seminar, which includes several hours of practical tactics, will take place Saturday, May 28 at the YMCA downtown from 9 am to noon. A second session will take place from 1 pm to 4 pm.

The cost of the introductory course is $75. This is refundable against the cost of the full course, if a person chooses to continue.

A special invitation day will take place Friday, May 27 at the YMCA, strictly for professionals such as police, military personnel, corrections and police foundations.

Darren Kleven, facilitator for the Underwood Defendo course, is proud to bring the system to the north. "This is for men, women and children,"said Kleven. "It's orientated for the average person. It's good for people out there, who want to feel more confident when having to defend themselves, and to be more aware all while using responsible force."

The Underwood system was designed by Bill Underwood, who was the legendary creator of the Canadian Special Forces Unarmed Combat.

The system effectiveness teaches individuals proper techniques in a matter for hours, not years.
