Look into Model Mugging.  It's a women's self-defense course, but
it's more than that.  It's a very empowering experience, it changes
lives.  It's a lot of money (~$400) but it is DEFINITELY worth 
every cent.  

If you haven't heard much about it, send email, I'll see if I can
dig up some info for you.

(I graduated in May 1990, and will be taking more courses from 
them.)
