After a high concentration of training I returned to my home town one weekend and whilst waiting in a line for my bus felt my rear(ass) touched. I turned and struck in one move without conscious thought only to discover I had floored an old friend of mine having a joke.<br />Self defense is good but remember if you train a lot it can become automatic.<br />Nice article Stephen.jack59https://www.blogger.com/profile/05382530929537194592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-88709576478450944512011-11-02T18:08:49.996-05:002011-11-02T18:08:49.996-05:00I am forwarding this to my daughter.

You can't be alert if you're talking on the phone. Great information though.Kat Hinksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06381877732736883715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-39883882747440968942011-11-02T16:22:34.190-05:002011-11-02T16:22:34.190-05:00Stephen,

Along with my regular martial arts classes, I conduct specialized self defense seminars entitled S.H.A.R.P. - Sexual Harassment, Asault, Rape Prevention - which is about a four hour course for women only. This course looks at various areas of self defense. If you ever get a chance to participate in a course like this, it is worth the fee.Stephen L.

In my self defense classes, I teach women to make a fist around your keys letting one stick out of your fist by the index finger/ thumb side. This way you avoid hurting your fingers, you have better control of your weapon, and more mobility to strike an attacker even if they grab you from behind. Moving out of Trenton was probably a good choice. ;)KM Fawcetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474744487261610126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-19602187246074978862011-11-02T12:33:00.807-05:002011-11-02T12:33:00.807-05:00I was in a class once where NJ state worker clerks...I was in a class once where NJ state worker clerks were taught self-defense. What I took away from it was the news that a woman can do serious damage with a set of keys. Walk with them sticking out between your fingers; you can take out an assailant's eye. Never used this. I've lost the will to blind some other mother's son. Instead I moved out of Trenton.Kate Gallisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107289413804236810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-43033521965860063562011-11-02T12:00:42.422-05:002011-11-02T12:00:42.422-05:00LOL, Liz!
