Read the Room: Practical Self-Defense, Thursday 11/14 (Period 1)

As students entered the classroom today, they would find themselves filtering into a small but fairly well-equipped gym locker room. The front area was made up of rows of alternating lockers and benches, leading into the shower area, where curtained showers lined one wall and partitioned changing stalls lined the other, and finally to the restroom stalls at the far end of the room.

Kennedy was standing on the bench near the door -- look, she knew she had a pretty large personality and could yell loud enough to match it, but she was still short.

"Hey, everybody. Sorry about last week," she said. "Some people accidentally triggered a small off-season apocalypse, it was a whole thing, I'll spare you the details. Anyway, today we're going to be looking at how you do in a close-quarters, sort of cramped environment. And this week, I want you to focus on incapacitating your attacker, not just getting away, got it? You'll be running through this one individually, you versus one not-so-friendly Danger Shop baddie. And as always, be creative, remember to use your surroundings."

She grinned at them. "The door-in-the-face move is a classic. Highly recommended, by the way. Okay, line up and have at it."
