On Tuesday, November 13, Medaille’s gym was filled with women young and old who were interested in learning how to “Fight Like a Girl.” The program, which was brought to Medaille by the Oxygen Network and Time Warner Cable, was a free specialty class in basic self-awareness and self-defense techniques.
