"I believe this is important information for every woman, every young girl," Schneider told Daily Voice. "To know some self defense, and be able to deter a potentially dangerous situation.
"Most women won't take down a man who has 50 pounds on her," she added, "but we can do some maneuvers on them and get away. We all should have this knowledge."
Self-defense expert and Holmes resident Craig DeRosa will be the guest speaker. DeRosa will give a talk and then show some basic self-defense moves at the two-hour seminar.
