Orginal Post: bamboo: With organizers working hard to put together different events for international women's day in march, my lovely wife was approached to do a 1 1/2 hour women's self defense seminar. Being with her when she was asked I was shocked to hear her accept the invitation as I am familiar with her views on the validity of these small SD sessions.
When I asked her about it later I was really impressed to hear what she will be presenting. Mrs. Bamboo ( 8) ) will spend the first hour talking about the importance of personal awareness and proper judgement in living a safe life, followed by a half hour of debunking the myths that women are taught concerning how to dissuade a real attacker/rapist.
Yours truly will serve as an example of a large but average man with intent to restain a woman. She will talk about how focusing on the groin, or a few jabs to the face of an enraged predator are completely ineffective. She will also lecture on the importance of understanding physical limitations and how no 2 week SD class can properly train you for a real world encounter. If they really want to learn real physical self defense, then they have to train and continiue to train to make it second nature.
I get to take a few head shots from the missus (with mouth guard) and demonstate just how silly it is to assume that a 140lb, well built, MA trained, athletic woman still is at a disadvantage to a 200lb man with bloodlust in his heart.
Damned proud of her for injecting some truth in what is often a fantasy filled world of self defense.
