Self Defense

So I'm taking a self defense class through my school and it's basically amazing. It really hard, and is the most I ever sweat, but it's a kick-butt workout. basically it' personal training without the crazy gym bill! I think it's so important for women (and men for the matter) to know how to defend themselves. I'm not really an alarmist type person, but with all of the scary people out there, and scary things they do, we need to know how to take care of Number One if you know what I mean. Knowing what to do if you're attacked, or even threatened is so important. USC is not in a good neighborhood, and attacks have been happening a lot recently. It's just nice to know that I have some tools to defend myself if necessary.
