The recent death of John Kerr, 87, after an alleged assault in Hastings Street has sparked free self defence training for seniors in Noosa.
Local instructor and Army veteran of 20 years, Grandmaster Martin Day (8th Dan), in conjunction with Noosa Leisure Centre has organised a self defence awareness course for seniors.
Combat Self Defence founder Mr Day said, “It’s a fact of life that we need to be situationally aware as we go about our daily lives and no one should live in fear.”
“The incident that has prompted this course is the recent death after an alleged assault on an 87 year old man in the proximity of Hastings Street.
“Our thoughts are with his family and friends.”
The course takes place on Friday 7 July at Noosa Leisure Centre from 1.30pm until 3pm and is free.
