If you are not, it is quite simple really.

Before we respond to that I would like you to ask yourself these few questions:

First, we do prefer “Protective offence” as the self defence term.

If you could step outside of yourself and look at a violent situation from an outsider’s point of view...

There is a huge misunderstanding that people have when weapons are concerned.

Once I learn the skills necessary, is there a guarantee that I will be safe in all situations?

Another huge misconception.

I’m not in top physical health so what’s the point of learning to defend myself if I can’t even jog around the block?

If I severely injure my attacker, won’t I be in trouble with the law? 

The amount of force you use in a given aggressive situation should parallel the danger you are in.

Can a woman manage to physically ward off her assailant, even if the attacker is bigger and stronger than she? 

The answer is Yes.
