Hello all,
I just have a couple of questions. I was wondering why you think WSD should be taught separate from the regular martial arts classes?
Also, is there a special curriculum that you would teach women just becasue they're women looking to defend themselves?
And, are you only looking to teach women to defend themselves against sexual assault, and not the plethoric array of other unfortunates that may beset them one day; like mugging for instance?
I ask these questions because it is my experience, at least here, that women loathe the violent path of learning self-defense. Most women here would rather take Cardio-Kickboxing and delude themselves into thinking that they are learning to defend themselves, and getting in shape at the same time. My point is that I don't know if it is the lack of instruction, or the lack of interest on women's part that is the cause.
Peace.
