    I took the B.R.A.V.E. self defense class taught by coach Barbara McClure this past weekend. She gave us many tools to use and gave us the confidence to use them to either avoid being a target or in case we become one. This isn't her … More job, it's her mission! I would encourage women of all ages to take this course.
