i.e., A local favorite, or highly recommended becauseSelf Defense Class was shockingly good. Much different from traditional ideas of scratch someone s eyes with your keys or kick in the groin. The instructor gave us at least 25-40 different ways I d never heard of to totally disable any aggressor that was based, I believe, on accupuncture and nerve pathways or some such. All I know is that within one class I would be able to disable someone twice my size. Highly recommend this especially for any girls going away to college.
