Oh Jesus Christ. That’s worse than useless. I’m not large or really that great of a fighter, but if she fought me like that and I wanted to her be, she’d be unconscious or dead in seconds.

That’s all show and would not result in anything good for her if she went like that at all but the most untrained fighters. These sort of self-defense classes for women instill a false sense of confidence and should be banned.

Real self-defense tips for women:

1) Carry pepper spray, as strong as is legal.

2) Take a krav maga class, one that is well-rated and tough.

3) If in a real fight, aim to disable (with pepper spray or without) as quickly as possible and run like your life depends on it, because if you had to fight, it probably does.

4) Don’t carry a gun. Chances are, it’ll be taken from you and used on you unless you’re a stone-hearted killer (most people aren’t).

5) Eyes, balls, solar plexus, nose, ears, throat are you primary targets, in that order (or whatever is easiest to reach). Don’t stand on propriety — be brutal. (This is why you need the krav class. It teaches you to ignore your instincts and be brutal.)

But if you fight like that against real attackers, you are going to die.
