Gentlemen,

Thank you for making available the "For Women Only" self-defense class.

It's refreshing to take such a useful, needed course and find my only competition is myself and the intelligent rule to surviving an attack is common sense.

Through Sifu's instruction, I've discovered very ordinary objects, as well as my own body, are resources for self-defense; and an attacker's body and momentum can be used to my advantage. Perhaps the most useful concept was: run from the dangerous situation.

Though paralyzing fear is understandable and passivity may sometimes be necessary, you have provided me with the opportunity to discover and explore intelligent alternatives.

It is my hope you will continue to provide such an important public service to other women.

Sincerely, MT
