Depending on where you are located, see what free training the local PD or SO offers. There is a program for women/ younger people called R.A.D. That stands for Rape Aggression Defense. Don't let the name throw you though. The course offers good, simple, effective hand to hand training. More importantly, it spends A LOT of time discussing situaltional awareness, how not to be a victim, etc. At the end, there are several scenarios to test skills learned. It is free, you can go often to refresh your skills, etc. No men, except for instructors are allowed.
I cannot say enough good stuff about the program. When my daughter is old enough, she will go. There is a RAD kids program for the younger crowd as well.
