Howard Munding owns Peoria Championship Martial Arts. The business aims to equip the community with the skills to protect themselves.“According to the FBI statistics, Arizona has 20% higher violent crimes than the rest of the nation on average and 47 % of those are against women,” Munding said.“The time to prepare or take a self-defense class is not when you’re being attacked, it’s beforehand,” Munding said.
Regardless of a person’s physical ability, Munding said basic protection skills and awareness are crucial to staying safe. “When we walk out of here right now, we have to protect ourselves with what God gave us,” Munding said. “This is what I’ve got to work with. So, we need to know how to work with that.”“I’m ready to be able to defend myself and speak for other women and be a part of a big community where we’re all helping each other,” Shelton said.
