What I am talking about in courses are minimal course of learning to protect yourself. Yea, ideally taking a full on asset protection course would do you a lot of good in learning what all to look for and stuff. However, there are course they teach in most large cities that teach very basic defence and alertness classes.
You will find they teach stuff like target areas to really hurt a person besides just a groin shot. Places like how to dislodge a knee cap, eye balls, nose, nerve just below the jaw line right close to the carotid artery...
Carry your car keys in your hand when you leave a store. A car key can be held a number of ways and makes a very lethal weapon.
They teach you to start using your perception and work on your instincts a little when something happens.
Police departments often give women defence courses, a lot of martial arts studios give lessons trying to recruit people in.
Yes, to answer the question above as I said above "Being alert and recognising the signs of a potential problem is your first line of defence."
Being alert for what are you trained to recognise the things you need to be watching for? Have you been trained to respond properly and practised it so that you don't panic if you actually need it.
