@phobic3000 Yes, the self-defence classes run by Urban Fit & Fearless on Bellenden Road / Scout Hut still take place on Wednesdays and actually reacting to this is the kind of stuff we are taught. As someone said above, actually even shouting at the guy (something like 'back off') is already a good form of attack... From the point of view of someone with no prior fighting experience (or sports experience for that matter) I find the classes very approachable / dynamic in terms of content...Acting under stress is obviously very difficult but we work on this as well

From my blog, for this week http://www.acookwithaview.com/2014/05/falafel.html Easy to make - you can keep the mix for 3 days in the fridge and have some freshly made during the week!
