| Personal Protection Party at UMAF |
This training is exclusively FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN. It is a unique program and UMAF has the
only 3 women in the state of North Carolina trained to offer this program - Tracy Long, Shannon Edwards, and Lisa
Shomaker.
A party is hosted by a woman at either her house or our school for her friends and family.
We then have a supportive, safe environment to discuss safety - what it is, what it is not, and why women some women are better
targets for attackers.
We can then move into disucssion/practice of what women can do and do well to protect themselves
and their families. We have our body language, our voice, our facial expressions, and our intuition.
These things work at preventing attacks if we use them in the right way.
Lastly, if physical defense becomes necessary there are many things that women again can do and do very
well. The techniques are easy and effective. It is not necessary to have any type of Martial Arts background to
perform any of the techniques.
The host of the party chooses the type of techniques she is most interested in learning - techniques again
the most common attacks, ground techniques, strikes, punches, kicks, etc. The host also receives a 10% discount on any
safety equipment she may choose to purchase.

| Tracy Long in Instructor Training |
Tracy, Shannon, and Lisa spent 3 full days in training to receive the certification as Personal Protection
Party Consultants/Trainers. The training was intense and exhausing yet worth every minute to now be able to offer this
important training to other women in the area.
The training enabled us to have an arsenal of techniques to taylor programs to individual fears and concerns.
When someone decides to host a Personal Protection Party, she chooses the type of techniques she wants to learn - common attacks
defense, ground attack defense, attack from behind defense, choke defense, etc.
