[Scott Wilk] – Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, partnered with Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy Brian Heischuber, the Domestic Violence Center of Santa Clarita, and the UFC Gym of Santa Clarita on Tuesday to host a free Women’s Safety and Self-Defense Workshop.
“Abuse and domestic violence is a big problem in our society and something I am dedicated to making a difference as I have a daughter and wife,” said Wilk.
“The goal of the workshop was to empower women and make them victors, not victims,” he said. “We had a tremendous turnout and the UFC Gym staff did an incredible job teaching valuable skills for real life situations. With the high volume of participants, I plan to host another workshop in the near future.”
More than 130 people attended the workshop in order to cultivate an empowering mentality by creating a set of awareness, safety and physical strategies that would enable someone to successfully resist, escape and survive violent attacks.
The 38th Assembly District encompasses Simi Valley, the northwestern section of the San Fernando Valley and most of the Santa Clarita Valley.
