The kicks are used to keep distance from an attacker, Christian said.

Officer Walker Johnson, co-instructor of the course, said the students should not feel squeamish about going for the throat or the eyes.

But it stunned me to realize that, as a school kid, my class studied Rosa Parks not as a part of American history but instead as part of black history.
