Master Dutch Hinkle conducted Gentle Self Defense classes at Mack’s 512 Academy. The classes began on January 9 and were held each Wednesday for an hour during the month of January.
Master Dutch has an extensive martial arts background that spans over forty years, two dozen different martial arts areas and includes training internationally. He also has authored at least three books, which are available for check out at the Guthrie Public Library.
Master Dutch is teaching “anti-bullying skills” to the students at 512 Academy.
“He came to us with the affirmation that fighting does not work and he offered to help our students learn how to avoid potentially harmful situations, how to set boundaries and how to keep themselves safe with gentle self-defense techniques they all need to know”, said Cheryl Glover, Director at the Academy said.
Glover went on to say Master Dutch has worked effectively with children and has definitely been an asset to the YES We Can!!! character building program being implemented at the Academy.
