      Nope you can’t and it’s a false sense, you can’t take down a guy with all of the moves in a self defense courses, a good example would be to watch two guys fight, you will understand that we can take a lot of beating, buy a taser it would be a better investment

    It is a good idea, but it must be implemented correctly. Women are at a natural physical disadvantage against Male attackers, and so useful and muscle memory building classes can be very beneficial.

    If it helps a woman gain confidence to defend herself, then I'm all for it. Granted, it really doesn't take a genius to take down a man - even a big one. You have different ways to defend yourself.

    Kicking or pepper spray is just a good way to piss the rapist off. A gun or knife on the other hand would either scare him off or make him take the room temperature challenge

      Yes, primarily. Self defense is to protect you from bad people, typically men. Sometimes women. But to generalise and declare we should spend time teaching guys not to be assholes is sexist, and worst of all, a moronic and and inefficient solution. Believe it or not, most guys know not to be assholes. We live in a society that constantly pummels men, telling them they are all pot rapists and aggressors. We are cracking down more and more, on all men from a young age. You tell me this: Do you really think it's working?

    Sell them teasers, pepper spray, guns and knifes instead.
    In hand to hand combat, a woman will usually lose to a man, but a bullet or knife between the eyes, is a very failproof way to keep away a rapist.

      I agree with this. I had a sensei that mashed up all the most useful bits to create real self defence that works against anything. None of that fancy stuff that only works if the opponent is following the rules of that particular art.

      And to aim for the vagina. One hit to the vagina will take even the toughest woman down with little to no effort. Not all attackers are men, but all attackers are extremely vulnerable to groin strikes.

      Our military is practically your military. I get that you all have your fair share of dangerous individuals, but as a country you’re a disarmed mass with little defense budget and weather that would prohibit your survival over time if we “quarantined” you. Of course we wouldn’t, because you’re not a threat to us.

      Where I live I can't get a license to carry. The fear I have while walking alone makes me really want to learn self defence. I know how to kick someone in the nuts sure but there are other self defence techniques I'd like to learn like how to defend yourself when attacked from behind, no kicking balls then. I can't help but think that most women who have been raped wouldn't have been if they knew self defence.
