I am not trying to degrade women, I am just telling people what I am perceive.
Again, congrats to all the women who are seeking out the means to defend themselves. |
If that's the case, it sounds like a very good in-service for you to suggest would be self-defense classes.
I agree with the comments that women should educate themselves on how to avoid and fend off attacks, but, frankly, so should men.
Some of the worst fighters I've ever seen at the dojo were guys who came in under the delusion that they could "handle themselves in a fight."
A whole lot of self defense is simply being alert and attuned to what's going on around you, trusting your gut, and having determination to keep your wits about you in a crisis.
