FOR the third year running a Tavistock based self-defence course specifically created for women has been declared a huge success. Umberto, the course instructor, said: 'The success received by the previous two courses held at the Ordulph Arms in Tavistock and the response from the attendees has definitely prompted me to make it into a yearly event. 'Once again the interest shown by the public was much greater than in the previous years; in fact the course was fully booked in a very short space of time. The difference this year was that a lot of the attendees enrolled through word of mouth or were friends and relatives of past attendees. This is obviously hugely satisfying as it proves we are doing something good, which people enjoy and at the same time they are learning something useful to use in potentially threatening situations.'
