A free situational awareness-self defense class is set for Saturday, Nov. 7, at Suppz Gym in Prairie du Chien, in light of the fear that has spread around the community since the Oct. 21 beating and burglary of a local business owner.

Prairie du Chien resident Kent Stark, of Stark Armament Company, and Edward Glimme, a Systema Russian Martial Arts instructor from La Crosse will lead the day-long class from 9 a.m. until around 4 p.m. Stark said the class may last longer “depending on what people want to learn.”

“We’ll be teaching non-lethal ways for people to defend themselves,” Stark said. “If people want more training, we’re willing to open other dates as well.”

The instructors will donate their time and Suppz Gym owners Brent and Mary Sheckler will donate the class space. Though the class is free, donations toward the Go Fund Me campaign for Young Su “Key” Kim’s medical bills and loss of restaurant revenue are encouraged at www.gofundme.com/kq7yfbfc.
