This course -- taught by UCF police officers who are experienced and knowledgeable about personal safety and threat awareness -- primarily focuses on topics of mindset, preparation and awareness, but also demonstrates basic physical defense techniques. Our courses are designed to provide attendees with information, tactics and options which we believe may be useful for various types of crimes perpetrated against victims.

As an inclusive, public institution of higher education, UCF offers the Mighty Knights classes to all students, staff, and faculty within the UCF community at no cost. A valid UCF affiliated e-mail account must be used when registering for this course. For classes held at UCF Downtown, Valencia students, faculty and staff will also be able to register with their Valencia email address.

Registration is required. Please note, class sizes are small to ensure each participant is able to get the most from the class, so there is a limited amount of space available. You will receive an e-mail with class information prior to the course date. 

If you have a group of 11 or more and would like to host a private self-defense lecture/demonstration for your group, please email policecr@ucf.edu .
