Attacks on young women inspired mum to teach self-defence

A woman from Solihull has gone to extreme lengths to learn self-defence to protect her family - and now she's teaching others how to stay safe too.

Gulshen Bano is the first female instructor in the Midlands to teach a system called Krav Maga - which was first designed for the Israeli military.
