Last week female students gathered to take turns hitting and kicking Public Safety Officers in SJ 1st. The students came to learn from Dante Butcher and Craig Marivilla on proper defense techniques to fend off a would-be attacker. Most said that they left with a better understanding of what it takes to protect themselves. Volunteers demonstrated how to throw a proper head butt, monkey slap, side kick and showed how to survive being pinned down. Although many of the students were at first amused by the course they came away educated. Argonaut Photos by Erik Oeverndiek
