Have You Ever Had to Use Self-Defense?
I have to admit that I've never taken the time to enroll in a serious self-defense course. Luckily, I've never been in a situation requiring it (knock on wood!), but I think it's about time I sign up!

Are Taser Parties Too Much?

Don't Light Up Around Gramps
Don't watch the golfer in the foreground, watch the scene happening behind him. An elderly man is enjoying his day in the sun while watching the golfers play around him, when some punk decides to take a smoke break right next to him.

There are many classes out their designed just for women to learn self defense skills. I have even seen boot camps designed especially to train women with defense skills. These classes seem like a good idea and I am wondering if you have ever taken a self defense class.
Burn a Few More Calories: Take a Self Defense Class
Some of my favorite kinds of workouts are the ones that kill two birds with one stone. For example, I love getting in 30 minutes of cardio while watching the last episode of TopChef (yes, I watch that show too).
