Shocking Gym Assault: Woman's Heroic Battle Against Attacker

On this show, Brad Parker and Tracie Arlington show the video of an actual assault on a young woman in a private gym. We break it down and discuss what happened, what the woman did correctly, and how we can use this as a good start for our own self-defense.
