Espesically females these days they think they can get away with smacking guys around...Typically they also dont teach you any of the good parts of those martail arts either because they are afraid of being sued, but yet they stick to elements of them that dont work because of "tradition".....and kneeing him in the groin. Yes this is painful but it makes a determined attacker angry, it is far easier to punch him in the throat. The other problem with women's self-defense classes is that they tell stories about how the knee'd some guy in the balls who wasnt threatening him and how he doubled over.
