I took one self defense into course that was only a couple of hours long and not nearly as intense as the one described above- but I learned a lot. I have been meaning to take another class because I hope to never be in a situation where I need the skills, but if I ever am I would like to be as prepared as possible.

(Or with anyone else, either!) To me, the first rule of self-defense is to be smart enough to avoid potentially dangerous situations in the first place. <br /><br />Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, in today's world, places we used to think of as safe can now pose some danger. I like the idea of moving toward the danger and catching him off-guard, as opposed to turning into a sniveling pile of jello. In theory. Not sure if I'd have the nerve to do it.
