Dallas Jessup rocks. You're probably thinking, "Who the heck is that?" I'll be more than happy to tell you! Aren't you lucky? :P
Dallas Jessup is a remarkable young woman who leads a fairly normal life in the state of Washington. She is a Tae Kwon Do black belt and master of Filipino street fighting which was described in one news story as "no rules fighting".
Jessup goes around the country teaching middle and high school aged girls how to defend themselves against assailants often 100lbs heavier than they are. Her efforts to show girls how to protect themselves have been noticed internationally by law enforcement agencies, governments, and the media.
Oh, and she's 17 years old.
She can't buy a can of pepper spray in Washington state, but she can kick an assailant's butt. Right on, Dallas. You are awesome.
Check out her site at http://www.justyellfire.com/. Read her blog, watch the video, maybe even print off the brochure which talks about setting up Just Yell Fire defense classes or seminars. As a mom to a little girl who will one day be a young woman, I think Dallas is doing a wonderful thing and is helping protect the next generation of women.
