Fairfax County Police will sponsor a two-day self-defense course exclusively for women.
Available to all women 13 years of age of older, the safety course will help prepare women against attackers by teaching risk awareness and reduction, crime prevention strategies, defensive concepts and hands-on training in defensive tactics.
Police say that these techniques can protect students when applied swiftly and correctly.
Trained experts will teach the course and will test women on their newly learned skills in realistic, controlled environments.
Women will experience what it is like to be suddenly grabbed in a stairwell, parking lot or elevator, and how to defend themselves in those situations.
