Women need to know how to defend themselves and how to protect themselves from diverse situations that could cause harm or even death. If a woman chooses not to defend herself, her possessions, sexual virtues, and even life could be at stake. The statistics show if a man is walking down the street alone and a woman is walking down the same street, the woman has an 80% more chance of being attacked, robbed, or raped than a man. That is about two inches below the chest bone. A good jab in the ribs will also deter the assailant. Women's self defense classes may teach you to pull the hair of your attacker. This is a good tactic if he is already upon you, but if you have the time there is probably stuff in your purse relating to hair that you can use as a weapon. Here the soldier will learn how to kill a man using her bayonet either on her rifle or in her hand. She will learn that the bayonet can slash the throat of her attacker by coming down at an angle in a downward motion. She will be taught how to stick the bayonet into her attacker's body, twist it to cause the most internal damage possible, and then pull it from his body. You have never been to a traditional women's self-defense course and you really do not know what to do. You could scream, but who would hear you. There is no one around. You could run but you are in heels and he is close enough where you would never get away. Your body, your belongings, your life is on the line. Women are naturally stronger in the lower body and must not be afraid to use their legs when defending their person. The women's self-defense course will teach the female to kick or stomp on their attacker and when all else fails, run. Building up the leg muscles for defense will tone and slenderize the thigh and give definition to the calves and ankle areas. Finish this famous women's self defense by either kicking the attacker in the groin or placing your heel in his face or solar plexus. Once your attacker is down, run to safety as fast as you can and scream all the way. If you learn women's self defense the right way, you are almost certain to escape with less injury and your life.
