The Kansas City Royals, 98-1 KUDL and The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation's T.A.K.E. Defense are excited to offer self-defense classes on the field at Kauffman Stadium this 2008 season! To date, free-of-charge, The Ali Kemp Educational (T.A.K.E.) Foundation has educated over 26,000 women in self-defense, and they are just getting started! Join KUDL's Darcie Blake as she kicks off the classes at Kauffman Stadium.
Class dates are:
- Saturday, May 17, from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
- Saturday, August 16, from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
The T.A.K.E. Defense program represents a living legacy in honor of Ali Kemp, a 19-year-old Leawood, KS resident who was murdered while working as a lifeguard at a neighborhood pool in Johnson County. The goal of the program is to raise awareness and to give women ages 12 and older the self-protection skills they need to avoid becoming the victims of violent crime. Our oldest participant has been 86 years old! Participants will learn basic self-defense techniques, which could save their lives.
