I heard Pam Ellis of Diversified Capital mention several months ago that she taught women self-defense and I thought I would write her up on this blog eventually. Well, Daniel Duran finally got me off my butt to do just that.

Pam spoke for about ten minutes today at the Realtors Marketing Association's weekly meeting in San Ramon. The RMA is composed of Realtors, real estate agents and other professionals asociated with the real estate industry in San Ramon, Danville, and Alamo.

Pam came to talk about the necessity of being aware of self-defense, your surroundings and the fact that there are some strange people on planet Earth that don't value the well-being of others. Pam teaches an eight week course on self-defense for women and is creating one for men also. As she talked, she asked Nate Womack to step up to assist.

It was a priceless moment , one of those -  "Who me?" moments. The look on Nate's face brought some good laughs into the room. After smacking Nate around a bit (just kidding), Pam demonstrated a few simple techniques to demonstrate that you don't have to have her years of training to protect yourself.
