Self Defense and First Time Home Buyer's Workshop a Success!
Posted by Real Estate With Honors Administrator on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 12:18pm.Yesterday's self-defense and first time home buyer's workshop attracted more that 200 people to UNMC's Durham Outpatient Center.
This program focused on two areas - off campus safety/self defense and the soon to expire first time home buyers federal tax credit. From 11:00 am to 12:30 pm local real estate, mortgage and financing professionals made a series of presentations about the $8,000 tax credit expiring November 30. Those looking to purchase their first home received up-to-date information and recommendations from the Real Estate With Honors panel of experts. Click here for the WOWT news story on this event. From 12:30 - 2:00 Master Mike Kassebaum, a sixth degree black belt and owner of ATA Krav Maga National Training Center, provided an safety and self-defense demonstration. Techniques and scenarios were presented to reduce attendees' chances of becoming victims of violent or sexual crimes. Talks included awareness and safety in the home, car and school. Attendees participated in small groups to learn combatives (how to react if someone grabs you from behind for example) and choke defenses. In addition, more than 20 participating companies of UNMC Real Estate With Honors were on hand to answer questions and share their knowledge in a trade show environment.
We look forward to seeing you at future events!
