January 31, 2011 (San Diego’s East County)--January is National Personal Self-Defense Awareness Month, a time to reflect on safety information and tips, as well as to sharpen survival skills. As a safety expert, my job is to make sure my audience, readers and viewers have the best advice from the best resources.
In light of the recent news story about a young woman who was jogging locally and who was able to stop an attacker with pepper spray, I have created a guide to help you choose a self-defense class, learn basic safety tips, and choose the best weapon for your safety.
