College plans free self-defense class for women

Self defense should still be a priority for women in Montgomery County.
On that note, Lone Star College-Montgomery will host a free women's self defense workshop March 4. It is open to females ages 11 and up.
Donna Vandermolen will teach simple methods of "humane self-defense," meaning techniques that do not involve the use of a weapon.
Participants will also learn about "situational awareness," which basically means being aware of your surroundings, as I wrote about in a previous article.
Nothing new has been announced in the abduction of a young woman from Molly's Pub, nor in the case of the attempted abduction of a woman jogging on Gosling.

"The threat of assault for women is a constant and never-ending danger," said James Zipper, professor at LSC-Montgomery and advisor of the Second Amendment Academy.
