Womens' Street Smart Class

[fozzy40]

I'm moving with my wife to a city this coming July. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a street smarts class for women. Not necessarily self-defense but more things like how to not look like a victim, good safety precautions, what to do, what not to do, etc....

Thanks again...

An excellent resource is Darren Laur's Total Awareness

and don't miss De Becker's advice in The Gift of Fear

For a rougher edge, try Real World Self-Defense: A Guide to Staying Alive in Dangerous Times by Jerry Van Cook

and the eminently practical Hard-Won Wisdom from the School of Hard Knocks: How to Avoid a Fight and Things to Do When You Can't or Don't Want to, by Alain Burrese:

For a book about not fighting, Alain Burrese has filled this with a lot of excellent tips about the how-to’s of physical protection from assault.
