women: just yell and run ...or take a real class with some more serious realistic training, it may scare you to think about but chances are if a guy gets this close, throwing your hands in his face is just going to make him mad. yes, even PUNCHING him with FULL FORCE in the FACE is going to simply piss him off!

Learning ow to properly use and care for firearms is a superior method of SD. There is nothing wrong with close-quarters combat techniques, but you would be safer if there was space between the victim and the aggressor. That can be achieved with a firearm. I prefer that a responsible woman shoot a rapist instead of the opposite. A gun can be the equalizer in a woman's battle. Also, scratching people with keys does nothing but infuriate them.

Utter non-sense! Talking like that to the attacker is not only stupid, but dangerous! That is just going to aggrivate the attacker even more and make the situation worse!! If they really want to attack you, do you think they will back off if you tell them to? Nooooo way Jose!! I also learn self-defense, and study martial arts, but honestly, I know its not going to protect me 100%. The best form of self-defense is to avoid the situation.

Self defense means a firearm. Their main advantage is that they don't need to be within arms reach to disable the assailant. It's good to know some basic moves should it ever get to hand to hand, but overall, pulling a firearm should be your first line of defense. And, if an attacker is ever able to take YOUR gun and use it on YOU, it's a sure bet survival wasn't your first priority anyway. Get a gun and know how to use it.

I agree that this is a huge waste of time, and is doing these women a disservice. They shouldn't be practicing in a 'supportive environment', they should be experiencing abject TERROR throughout the training, and should be training to attack the FACE, not a pad (i.e. the trainers should constantly wear full face guards which allow the women to strike the face) - plus what's with the stupid slapping with the heel of the hand? Why not learn how to punch and eye gouge?

ive seen this before it makes women think that when some guy comes up that wieghs twice as much as her she thinks she can embarrass him and just kick his ass. then hes just grads her hand and punches her in the face what they really need to do in that kind of situtation is run away and yell to try to get other peoples attention so they will see what is going on. i mean look at what they where teaching them? face push with your hand??? anyone could just grab that mid air i agree with dr
