Much smaller than me.<br /><br />First, it gives us a reality check for teaching women's self defense. If she, with training and deceptive strength & flexibility, can't pull off some technique or approach -- there's no way a woman who's first step into the world of violence is a self defense class will. <br /><br />Second, it really makes a point to the students if she can pull something off against me. It's a great convincer if she throws me...<br /><br />Finally, she's a damn sight more familiar with a woman's body and physical/emotional/psychological responses to things than I am. Ladies don't think or feel or move the way men do... and it's a mistake to forget that.jks9199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-84850456252343358822010-08-15T16:26:13.556-07:002010-08-15T16:26:13.556-07:00I love this Rory.

How to translate things that work for large men... or even just men in general and adapt it to fit women's needs and capabilities. Violence against women is different than violence against men. It IS a game that I must play with my own "weapons", using skills, bio-mechanics, leverage and smarts to defeat strength. I cannot play this game by men's rules, I would be defeated.<br />I must meet this wonderful lady. Sounds like we'd have a lot to talk about ;-)<br />Thanks again for sharing your wisdomLise Steenersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040510534717038918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-20218590716951929532010-08-15T09:05:06.274-07:002010-08-15T09:05:06.274-07:00I particularly liked this quote from her website:
