LAS VEGAS — Lance Hart is reminding local industry colleagues that he is leading a self-defense class Sunday in Las Vegas sponsored by Lance Hart Studios, Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and WoodRocket and taught by Citizens Defense Research (CDR).
The class is designed specifically for adult performers and sex workers and runs from 12 to 4 p.m. It is free.
The class will focus on strategy and theory of self-protection, rather than hands-on self-defense techniques. “CDR instructors John Johnston and Melody Lauer will examine predatory cues, or 'bells,' that people give off before becoming aggressive and other techniques,” a rep notes.
Adult performers and other sex workers are at a significantly higher risk for violence and often are not taken seriously by law enforcement for protection or prosecution. “I want to educate these two groups of people, and keep them from being assaulted in Ubers, hotels and on their way home,” explained Hart.
The intention is to impart attendees with a stronger sense of self-confidence as they navigate their daily lives. “The idea of the class is to make ourselves more dangerous to attack. If you’re an adult performer or other sex worker, you should attend this class to take your safety into your own hands,” Hart said. “John and Melody are incredible, and I hope the class is well attended.”
