MURFREESBORO — If you want more training in
self-defense to feel safe, MTSU’s Forensic Institute for Research and Education
has a free workshop for you.
Law
enforcement veteran Levi Montgomery is bringing his decades of experience in
police tactics back to MTSU on Monday, Nov. 11, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in Murphy
Center’s Auxiliary Gym 1.
The
workshop is open to the public, but participants must be at least 14 years old.
A parent or guardian must accompany workshop participants under 18.
The
Forensic Institute for Research and Education at MTSU, also known as FIRE, and
the Middle Tennessee Forensic Science Society are sponsoring the 2013 workshop.
They brought Montgomery to MTSU for a similar event in spring 2012.
Workshop
members will learn basic information about laws protecting both victims and
attackers. Montgomery also will demonstrate how to prevent confrontations and
defend against attackers if necessary. Organizers say Montgomery’s techniques
are practical for anyone, regardless of size or strength.
Montgomery,
who is co-owner and chief instructor for Priority One’s BASETAC Training Center
in Nashville, developed an extensive background in police tactics, weapons use
and martial arts during his law enforcement career, which began in 1979.
Special operations groups, including Team MIKE in Kosovo and the H8 (Hostile
Area Tactical Escort) teams in Iraq, use his unique methods of controlling
aggression in the United States and abroad.
