Learn Self-Defense For Free
A Carrollwood Tae Kwon Do studio is offering a self-defense course to women
After the Boston marathon tragedy, Phillip Williams knew he wanted to do something.
Williams, a program director at Traditional Tae Kwon Do in Carrollwood, decided the best thing was to teach people to fight back -- specifically mothers.
The studio will offer a free self-defense class to mothers in honor of Mother's Day on May 10.

"Since Mother's Day is coming up and there is so much craziness in the world we decided to try to help keep the Carrollwood ladies safe," Williams wrote in an email.
During the hour-long class, women will learn the basics of self-defense. Mothers and non-mothers are welcome to attend.
