NRA has to have some type of regional person you can contact.. At least to get list of regional classes, events or options.

Perhaps local gun clubs, shooting ranges, even gun stores could provide something. Scout the IDPA, and other websites for your area, and send out an email to the local rep, could lead to something.

krav maga  is the most common and one of the best for "unarmed"( and even some armed) SD training.

that is a good question,
probably should start at the beginning.    Self defense without a gun for myself, wife, and adult daughters.  assume we have had no training at all.  Most likely training for outside of the home.  Once we cover that, then can look at the different weapons  courses. 

does that help narrow it down?

I think it depends on whether you want a long term exposure (like martial arts) or something that get's you there aka "The Best Defense".  USSA has courses (hop over to their website and look at classes and give them a call...you never know, Phil Strader or Erik might pick up) just for women.  You might want to take a family vacation to Tulsa and spend few days or a week at USSA.....you can get the women only classes, family awareness classes, etc.  I can see three days for the awareness and womens avoidance classes.  Or, start with, say one day in intro to handguns, one day in intro to rifles, then they can have the awareness and avoidance classes that can be with or without weapons, whilst might take tac pistol, tac rifle, CQT, etc...

This will give them a huge advantage over their peers and make them far more safe.

I am actually teaching in Iowa this weekend... These guys are pretty serious about practgical training with pistols and have an active club in Waterloo... but they are saying that there isn't anyone doing anything practical around this area.... You might check with the PDR people through Blauer Tactical's website.

When you're ready for some pistol stuff, we'll be back in Iowa this fall and next spring.
