FAST Defense
http://www.fastdefense.com - We are BIG believers in the self-defense programs that the teams at FAST Defense have created and run internationally. As young women, especially on our own for the first time at college or after graduation, it’s all too easy to be a victim of crime. FAST Defense helps empower both men and women to be tough targets and develop super-strong verbal and physical skills in the event of an attack or even verbal assault. Christina recently participated in a class and was blown away by the practical skills she learned, the confidence she gained and the level of knowledge her instructors brought to the experience. Sign up for a FAST class in your area, mention ChickSpeak and you’ll save 10%. What a deal!
