FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — A Fort Wayne trainer has made it her mission to prepare women in the community for dangerous situations where they may need to protect themselves.
Giovanna Follo teaches Commando Krav Maga (CKM) sessions two to three times a week in the basement of her Fort Wayne home. She focuses on preparing women for real-world situations that she believes occur far too often.

She has a soft spot for students. But don’t call Giovanna Follo soft.
The assistant sociology professor at Wright State University’s Lake Campus is a third-degree black belt, so accomplished in the martial arts that she is considered a sensei, a teacher.
And Follo is sharing her hard-won knowledge and skills with the students she passes on the way to class by teaching self-defense classes at the campus YMCA.
