**It is important to note that, while we believe in the goals of the course and the value of the skills you will learn, taking this course is not a guarantee for safety in all real-life applications. You will learn how to better defend yourself and, ideally, gain a greater sense of your own, personal power but staying safe will still require you to stay smart and vigilant out there!
