American Drengr Krav Maga hosts monthly seminars relevant to our geographic area, current events, and local concerns of citizens and law enforcement. The February 7th seminar focuses on gun threats in various public transport settings.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has identified several contributing factors to increased assaults on public transit (subway, trains, buses, and city cabs), these include:
• societal issues such as homelessness, substance misuse, and mental health crises;
• fare evasion;
• escalation of minor conflicts and unprovoked assaults;
• ridership and crowds;
• differences in operator location between rail, bus & cab; and
• local laws and policies (e.g., decriminalization or lack of prosecution).

Types of assault types on these systems include harassment and threats; pushing, spitting, slapping, kicking, or punching; sexual harassment and unwanted touching; assaults with weapons; and, in some cases, homicides.

In this real-world defense awareness seminar, trained experts from American Drengr Krav Maga will train participants to develop situational awareness, respond to violent threats, and how to survive these potentially dangerous situations.
