Don’t Wait, Learn Self Defense Now!

"Prevention is key. I believe all of us are given a sense of discernment, an inner voice that tips us when something isn't just right. Sadly, many of us ignore that inner sense," stated Ted Denny, public information officer for the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

This local Sheriff’s office is just one of many that are offering classes in self defense geared toward women.

Unfortunately, self defense is one of those things you regret not participating in if you end up as a victim. Taking self defense classes and learning to keep yourself safe now may be able to help you or those you love to avoid becoming a statistic. If you have any interest in a class, find one and attend! You have nothing to lose and plenty to gain.

Women such as Beth Jones have discovered just how rewarding a self defense class can be. She and her friends have attended both basic and advanced classes at their local gym. They get a good workout and feel like they have skills they can use if they are the victim of an attack. They have also decided that they are going to carry pepper spray and are learning to use it effectively.

Putting all the tips and tricks together in a bad situation is what it’s really all about. Listen to your gut, remember what you learn, and practice. There is no reason why learning self defense can’t be an enjoyable experience. There is no time like the present to get started. Find a friend, find a class, and gain confidence!
