a sort of public service announcement

My father brought this short film to my attention recently and I wanted to share it here.  Self defence is something I feel strongly about and I think every woman should take a self defence course at some point in her life.  As a teenage girl, my mother signed me up for classes taught by a former police officer and her husband.  He dressed up in padded gear and we got to beat the crap out of him.  If any of you are thinking of taking self defence, I would highly recommend this format - it gives one a good idea of how much force it takes to fight off an assailant.  Also, it's a great feeling knowing you can kick ass if called upon to do so.
