We have all heard the stats about how many woman get attacked, mugged, rapped, and more and they are not pretty numbers. I'm sure every girl I know, including myself, could tell you at least one story.
Because of that & regardless of the face I take Kickboxing & workout, when my Kung Fu school offered a FREE Women's Self Defense Class Saturday I signed right up, and I'm glad I did.
A bunch of the guys I train with volunteered their day to come in and be out test subjects.
We (the woman) learnt many basic moves and escapes to help in different situations. We learnt a few different hits to the jaw/noes & ear, we learnt how to escape a grab from behind but most importantly we we given the opportunity to learn how to get away from a man trying to grab us & hold us down.
You can think it's easy or that it won't happen to you, but lets be real...unless your Ronda Rousey you should probably do a defense class, because it's not as easy as it looks.
I tried to escape a few time from a potential attack from a man. Once I used repeated open hand/cupped to ear move & again a foot to the face. And I don't care how big the guy is...a full foot planted hard into his face should daze him long enough for you to run...because your ultimate goal is to run away for help!!!
Personally being trapped under the guys, even though I knew them & knew they were not going to hurt me...was still scary. I'm strong, but I'm still a female & physical all of them are bigger & stronger then me!
If you ever get the chance to take a defense class, free or paid, don't pass it up. It's safer to know & be aware then to let something happen to you. And if you live in the South Florida area, I would encourage you to check out John Wai Kung Fu in Plantation & find out the next time they are offering the class.
I don't worry every time I walk to my car at night...but I'm confident & every one should have that!
