Five female college students in Maine jumped to the aid of a fellow student being attacked by a knife wielding assailant. One of the five women had recently completed a self defense class and knew the right pressure points to cause the perp to drop the knife.

- Doing what you know – wanting to get involved and being trained are great, but without taking action, are useless. The girls overcame their initial fear and jumped in, preventing what could have been a fatal attack.
Way to go girls! Read full story here.
