Conclusion - Self-Defense For Women
The emotional implications are devastating. If you are approached and attacked and don’t fight back, you will find yourself emotionally troubled and tortured thinking of what you could have or should have done. Don’t second guess yourself. Take steps to protect yourself. It takes amazing courage to hurt another person. Just keep in your mind the thought, the reality, that it’s a “him or me” choice. You can hurt him or he can hurt you. Samantha, the survivor of a street ambush, perhaps sums it up best. She says the following: “I never thought I would be strong enough to win over someone who wanted to hurt me. My sister and I took a self defense class a few months before I actually had to put those lessons to use. It could never happen to me. I was relatively sure of that. Until I read an article about how to protect yourself against an attacker. Then I knew it would be better to be prepared than to be clueless. My sister bought a gun and took classes on how to use it. I wasn’t as brave as she was. I just paid close attention in the shotokan class at the local rec center and practiced every chance I got. My husband wasn’t so happy about being my practice dummy – until this past May. I was walking to my car after shopping for groceries after work. My cart was full. I had to take advantage of any time available to perform these mundane tasks of life. It was 6:23 at night and the sky was just getting dark. I remember the time because I knew that Rob, my husband, would be home and wanting dinner. I had bought the makings for spaghetti and my mind was occupied with the new recipe for meatballs that a co-worker had given me. I approached my car, loaded up the groceries in the trunk and took the cart to the “cart corral”. As I walked back to my car, a disheveled man approached me and asked me to buy some homemade fudge. I told him “No thank you” and proceeded to unlock my car door. He grabbed me from behind. I’m so glad I took that shotokan class. I stomped on his foot, elbowed him in the face, turned around and caught him straight in the groin with my knee. He was moaning on the ground by the time I started the car and headed for the police station. They caught him later that night. When I had a moment to think back on that moment, I realized that I reacted on instinct. I would have had no idea how to defend myself if I hadn’t had that class. So many women think they can’t be strong in the face of danger, but I’m here to tell you that anyone can be. If you think about it long enough and hard enough, you begin to realize that YOU are the only one who can help yourself. That’s what I did. I don’t want to think about what would have happened if I hadn’t helped myself. I’m just glad I did.” Women don’t have to be the weaker sex. We can be strong and effective. It just takes a changed mind-set as well as some easy defensive techniques to protect yourself against a person who wants to hurt you. Don’t be a victim. Learn now. It can literally mean the difference between life and death. Choose life. |
