I'm trying to write a brochure for a Women's Self-Defense Class. I got some input from the instructor, but he's a bit of a fear-monger, so I'd like some more positive, empowering reasons why you might want to take self-defense. Not necessarily traditional martial arts, but a sort of street strategies and awareness course with some physical response techniques thrown in.

I don't necessarily want to hear just from women, either; I think that men can benefit from this sort of training as well, so please, if you've an idea, pipe up.
