Take a self defence class or course. This suggestion isn't just for the girly, girls, or the young ladies, it's also for the golden girls and the men.
I read in yesterdays Aussie newspaper that a woman was attacked at home in her kitchen, early morning, by a would-be-rapist. When he tried to remove her clothes she kicked him in the groin and broke a ceramic bowl over his head.
Way to go lady!!
He ran out and the police are looking for a man in his early forties who may have an injured groin and head.
Three of us attended a self-defence workshop a few years back. The lady who gave the course had no tales of doom and gloom nor tales of heroism, just sensible advice and really good hands-on combat training.
We left there feeling ready to take on the world but as our instructor pointed out, this is the first step, never forget to scream and run if you can. So, she didn't give a false feeling of greatness, just the basics that even 90 year olds can follow and a sense that if push came to shove we would be able to kick him in the groin and break a ceramic bowl over his head.

Oh yes, I remember that, hard work and screams, what fun we had and we were ready to get in the lift in a parking lot, knowing we could defend ourselves.
I would recommend a self defence course for everyone.
Good advice. I attended a course 3 years ago and your post reminded me how I should go for a refresher. It does give you more confidence and hopefully the ability to react quickly and save your life when needed.
ps: I can just see you kicking butt, ninja style louise!
Definitely something I want to do. Also a good idea - a first aid course - which I have done and would highly recommend. Ronnie xx
