MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Murfreesboro police are helping women better protect themselves through a new safety course. The free class will help to train women on how to get out of dangerous situations.
The R.A.D. Women Self-Defense Class held each Tuesday in month of May from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at MPD Headquarters. Students will learn hands on self-defense, risk reduction, self-awareness, avoidance, and prevention.
Participants must attend all four sessions to complete the 12-hours of progressive training. Class size is limited to 25 people. The first course will start on Tuesday, May 5th.
MPD says registration is full for the May courses, but if they have classes in the future they will post the dates on their Facebook page.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
