I’d strongly recommend it. I was surprised to learn how easy it can be to fight back, even with a larger attacker.

Even if you forget the techniques, it’s good to know you, even as a potential victim, can affect a situation to your benefit.
Tatiana

These are good skills for city dwelling women to have.

It was a great experience and I will tell my friends!

Women practicing martial arts is not new. Here is some great footage from the early 20th century...

Here is one of our young women students — in high school at the time — now attending Brigham Young University. The exercise has one student attacking the other student repeatedly. The defender does not know what the attack will be ahead of time, a crucial practice for learning true self-defense. The attacks are a variety of grabs and strikes. Once the defender initiates her defensive move the attacker cooperates to avoid the injury he would likely sustain in a real street confrontation.

RISK
GROWTH

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
