| There seems to be a severe lack of quality self | | | | weight training on the grounds that they don't |
| defense techniques taught to women. This paucity | | | | want to look 'masculine'. In order to carry out self |
| of protection for women is worrying when you | | | | defense techniques with power, you need to |
| consider that they are the victims in the majority | | | | increase your strength and exercising with |
| of cases. Yet it is noticeable that virtually all | | | | weights is the best way to do this. A million |
| courses which profess to be unisex are nothing of | | | | repetitions with tiny pink dumbbells won't get it |
| the sort. It is idiocy to suggest that an average | | | | done either. Women need to learn how to lift |
| woman will be able to perform the same | | | | heavy. Their fear of becoming 'muscle-bound' is |
| techniques based on size and strength as the | | | | unfounded. If it was so easy to gain muscle, how |
| average man. According to studies, even if men | | | | come 90% of guys you see in the gym |
| and women were the same size, men would be | | | | everyday are not bulky? Getting huge is hard |
| over twice as strong naturally. So again, why are | | | | work and will not happen by accident. As long as |
| we still seeing programs geared towards women | | | | you keep the training down to three sessions a |
| that are actually rehashed versions of | | | | week and not eat large amounts of protein, they |
| male-friendly courses? | | | | will be fine. |
| Hand to hand combat training for women has to | | | | Aside from having the power to carry out |
| be specialized. There are certainly moves that can | | | | effective hand to hand combat training, women |
| performed by women just as well as by men but | | | | should also carry self defense weapons with |
| there are not enough of them to fully protect the | | | | them. A stun gun, taser gun or pepper spray are |
| female species. First things first, why do | | | | all good choices. The last thing a thug expects to |
| programs insist on telling women to hit men in the | | | | see when attacking what they presume to be a |
| groin as their first move? This is exactly what a | | | | scared woman is a stun gun that will have them |
| male attacker expects them to do initially. They | | | | twitching on the floor within a second. Make sure |
| make not expect them to strike them in the | | | | that the weapon you purchase is within state |
| knee or throat with ferocity however. The groin | | | | laws however. |
| is the perfect place to hit a man but you have to | | | | Women should not have to live their life in fear |
| keep them preoccupied before striking there. | | | | nor should they have to suffer from poor self |
| Force them to block another blow then unleash a | | | | defense techniques shown to them by male |
| devastating strike to the nether regions. Women | | | | instructors. If you are considering a self defense |
| can be trained to strike fiercely and such force | | | | course, be sure to find one with a female trainer. |
| will certainly surprise any thug. | | | | Don't be afraid to increase your strength or carry |
| It is irritating to hear women who refuse to do | | | | weapons with you either. |
