Return to What to Look for in a Reality-Based Women's Self-Defense Program

<h2>What to Look for in a Reality-Based Women's Self-Defense Program</h2>by JeffreyM.MillerAnyone truly serious about finding a good, reliable, and quality women's self-defense program should first do everything you can to ask for and check out the course teacher's credentials. This should never be taken lightly and should be done whether you're... * a woman who wants to be able to protect herself, or... * a concerned parent who wants your daughter to be safe in an often unsafe world This point is extremely important to remember, for, like few things in a person's life... ... your very life could hang on the choice you make. The unfortunate truth is that the world is full of people who have just enough knowledge, ability, and judgment, to get by. We all seen it. In fact, you probably know and maybe even work with one or two every day! This is not to say that a black belt, martial arts teacher cannot protect him or herself with the skills they've learned. But, which person would you trust your life to if given the choice... ... someone who has probably learned and practiced their skills to be used in a sport competition in order to earn a belt, trophy, or... ... someone who has direct life experience in actually surviving real attacks from real assailants and had to make sure that what they were learning would work to save their own life? I think we both know the answer to that question. Other Considerations When Choosing a Self-Defense Program for Girls and Women The following is a partial list of some of the other major differences between self defense for women and men. * Cultural Influences - girls have been taught from a very early age that fighting was not "lady-like." Oh my god! What would people think! * Situational Self-Defense - sexual assault and rape are two of the most significant differences between men and women when it comes to what each has to worry about in an attack. Where men will generally come up against the more obvious, fight-like attack, women are more often required to deal with what we might call subtle attacks like being "toyed with, or date-rape scenarios. This is complicated with the addition of the strength and size difference between men and women that I talk about. This difference creates and significantly different situation for women, which of course calls for very different defense tactics. * Wrong Information - I think that most martial arts and self-defense teachers and instructors mean well. They aren't out to take advantage of you. I think it's just that... ... without real-world experience to guide them, they end up doing what everyone else is doing because they don't know any better... ... they end up making assumptions that, to them, seem logical and right within their own limited perspective and knowledge. The contradiction is that we're talking about defensive situations here... ... self defense for women... ... girls self-defense. Not... ... baking a cake, where, if you do it wrong, it won't kill you. A mistake in a women's self-defense situation, in any situation requiring defense against an attack, could be very, very costly indeed.<h3>About the Author</h3>Before you buy one more <a href="http://www.warrior-concepts-online.com/womens-self-defense-book.html">women's self-defense book</a>, you must look at the life-saving <a href="http://www.warrior-concepts-online.com/womens-self-defense.html">womens-self-defense</a> information at Jeffrey Miller's site.
