If you do cause an accident, let it be on your turns. Make sure your speed is slow enough not to harm yourself or others. If you are locked in a trunk, kick the tail lights out or at least unplug them so the people behind will not see the turning signal. If you can knock out the lights, stick a finger or stick out the hole and move around so that the driver behind can see. The art of women's self-defense teaches women to use the abilities given to them by Mother Nature. 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. Using all of your force, this will cause extreme pain or dislocation. If possible and you can do it with safety, kick your opponent in the testicles. This is extreme pain for a man and can take him out of commission for several minutes. If you miss the first time kick him again and then run. Remember that women's self defense wants you to remember that you are not trying to win a fight but to disable or distract you opponent long enough to get away. If a thief does try to grab your purse, you first reaction is to pull it closer into your body. This will only make the thief try harder and you could end up injuring yourself. The first tip from women's self defense instructors is to try to shop with a friend. This friend can be of either sex an a would be thief usually thinks twice before they would attack two people instead of one. Women were protected in the past by society's rules and a sense of chivalry. Not that chivalry is dead everywhere, a woman has more chance to be assaulted in today's society then they would have twenty years ago. Women's self-defense is more important today because women have been devalued at the street level in today's society. She needs to know how to use her rifle and to use other military weapons to protect herself and her fellow soldiers. The lack on knowledge of women's self defense techniques can get her and her comrades injured or killed. The branch in the military dictates the extent of women's self defense classes a woman will receive.
