As a female, the thought of an attack or an assault is very troubling and frightening. An assailant will not think twice about attacking a female. Travelling around alone, a female has to be aware at all times at the world around her and be ready to fight with the most viciousness if faced with an attacker. Smaller individuals are capable of effectively defending themselves in an attack by focusing their mass into the actual strike used.
Striking an assailant will only enhance the violence. A great importance in how to properly strike and get to vulnerable targets right away such as groin, eyes, nose is so critical in a female’s training. In classes, there will be controlled contact made in learning how to get out of specific attacks such as chokes, hair pulls, grabs and the avoidance of going to the ground. Being afraid is going to happen in an attack, but for a female, it is more pertinent that the female trains to get passed freezing, shutting down, giving up and not fighting for her life.
