Everyone should know how to defend themself. Without needing you to sign up for the large personal and financial investment in studying martial arts, though that will provide the best education, I can teach you a few things to have up your sleeve, from tips to consider daily to tools to escape a dangerous situation. *DISCLAIMER* I cannot stress enough the value, in fitness, character, and safety, of studying martial arts in a formal, committed setting. Your ability to defend yourself will be much higher from taking regular classes than from taking a basic seminar, but the information I can provide is something I believe everyone should be able to have in case the worst happens.
