New face of Self Defence is needed
Let’s not make Women Self Defence all about the which martial arts is best or better. The is secondary issue. What more important for instructor to change and really understand the issue from a women point of view. No, just having Women Self Defence instructors also not enough since they have not worked or understood a normal women trauma in her own world.
Work with women organisations understand the women limitations and her circumstances. Not just go and force his martial art on them. Even a instructor has a sister, mother, daughters and wife, so he must be true to the practitioners and not swear by his martial art. With this crime rate, four women out of five women would be affected by crime. So, it’s time to change the face of women Self Defence.
