The Kansas City Royals, 98-1 KUDL and The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation's T.A.K.E. Defense are excited to offer another round of self-defense classes on the field at Kauffman Stadium during the 2010 season! To date, free-of-charge, The Ali Kemp Educational (T.A.K.E.) Foundation has educated more than 36,000 women in self-defense, and they are just getting started.
The 2010 classes are scheduled for:
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.
Since 2008, when the Royals hosted their first T.A.K.E. Defense classes, more than 2,100 females have been welcomed to Kauffman Stadium. The event in September of 2009 ranked as the largest T.A.K.E. Defense self-defense class in the history of the program!
