Girls, Self defense class versus martial arts, what’s better for real life safety?

Self defense. It’s more specific and quicker specific education. Martial arts is a form of defense that is learned throughout life. Its a “life commitment” so each new section is mastered before moving onto the next.

Are the classes that intense? I’m a bigger girl and not in shape at all so I’m worried I won’t be able to keep up.

[dustybiker]

Not intense. Better really because they are tailored to you specifically. More attention. You would learn faster.

[Asker]

Awesome thanks! My school has a free one so I’ll check it out

[dustybiker]

Oh, nice. Jump in that! And have fun. 😎

[Asker]

Thanks! A classmate of mine got assaulted by this frat guy and tried to fight him off but couldn’t so it really scared me

[dustybiker]

Everyone should learn how to defend themselves.
I hope your classmate is ok. That is awful.

[Asker]

Luckily it was in public and somehow else intervened, she said she smacked him hard in the head but it didn’t phase him and made it more upset.. he got arrested

[dustybiker]

Oh, thank goodness! So lucky! Scary too. Good for you doing the proactive thing. You never know when you can use it for yourself or to help someone else.

[Asker]

There are too many entitled guys are my school that think they are gods, mostly the athletes..

[dustybiker]

That isn’t right. Hopefully the arrest drilled that home.

[Asker]

For that guy yeah, but there are others

[dustybiker]

Take care of you. Try and keep people with you. Or at least keep close to others.

[Asker]

Thanks, we need to all travel in packs

[dustybiker]

Agreed. It’s safer.
