I've always wanted to take self-defense classes. Sometimes back home, the law enforcement would have classes on it. Years ago, while working in the banking system, we had FBI that would come in and give us women a few tips on how to be observant, and use what we had at our disposal for defense.

I never got a chance or took the time to take some of these classes in the past. But, now I'm thinking serious about taking some.

Who can benefit from taking self-defense? How can one go about asking for a program to start in your area? And how many weeks would it take to actually learn to be sufficient in defending yourself against a preditor?

I'm thinking many people, young/old, men/women....could benefit by knowing some tools to defend themselves. I would probably check with law enforcement in my area for any programs. I'm not sure how long it would take to be self-sufficient in defending oneself, since I have never taken a class, but I'm sure someone here might know. And that is why I wanted to start this thread.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but maybe this will give us a new awareness of what goes on around us. We all listen to the news everyday and can't help but wonder what we can do to prevent these preditors from violating us and our children.
