University Slates Self Defense Class for Women Saturday, Mar. 21

Texas A&M International University will offer a "Self Defense for Women" continuing education class on Saturday, March 21 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on the University's main campus, 5201 University Boulevard, in the Kinesiology/Convocation Building.

Tuition is $20 per person.

The class features both common sense instruction on avoiding dangerous situations plus expert demonstrations on ways to fend off physical attacks and deal with assault situations.

Participants will practice self defense techniques and should therefore be prepared to engage in physical activity.

Instructor will be Juan Manuel Martinez, self defense expert and former police chief.
