Hello all,

In light of the recent uptick in criminal activity in the neighborhood, I thought you might be interested to know that the karate studio my son attends (Ryer Martial Arts Academy; http://www.pittsburghkarate.com/Womens-Self-Defense.html) holds Women's Self Defense classes the third Saturday of the month, 2-3 p.m.  I've been at the last three and find them helpful.  Wouldn't say I'm dangerous yet but at least less helpless!

Cheers,
Michelle Butler
