The best way to prepare yourself to fight off an attacker is to take a self-defense class.

Join us as Detective Juan Rodriquez, owner of the Summit Training Academy, teaches you how to size up a situation and decide what you should do. He will also teach special techniques for breaking an attacker's grasp and other things you can do to get away, as well as ways to surprise your attacker and catch him or her off guard. Online registration required.
