Women Learn How to Kick Butt At Richfield Self-Defense Class

On Tuesday, Richfield police hosted a self-defense class for women. The class included a lecture and lots of hands-on work, including practice on jabs, strikes and kicks.

It was held at Richfield High School.

Through lecture, discussion, skill demonstrations and practice, police say the women in the class leave more confident in how to handle themselves in a variety of potentially dangerous situations.

The class is taught by Bill Neiss, a self defense instructor since 1988.

The Richfield police say they're hoping to offer another session in self-defense for women this winter.
