Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Self defence: Paula Todd is one York University student who is taking martial arts lessons offered by fellow student Michael Rybyj; a Brown Belt instructor. The level of fear on campus is rising; Todd says. Rybyj says self defence for women is an alternative to living in fear or relying on escorts for safe passage.
