Have you ever walked down a lonely, dark street, heard menacing footsteps behind you and felt vulnerable? Have you ever wondered what you would do in the event of an attack? Do you know what you can do to protect yourself in dangerous situations?

Answers to these and more questions will be provided during the upcoming Books and Beyond Internet talk show as hostess Bonnie Blose talks with Bob Koppenjan, self-defense expert and fitness trainer extraordinaire. Not only has Mr. Koppenjan earned distinction in the martial arts, has his name registered in the Japanese hall of records in Tokyo, is a recognized, highly qualified certified personal trainer, but is also the designer of the Out of Sight Program, an affordable health and fitness program for the blind.

Following the interview, the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions.
