Essential Guide to Self Defense for Women

The statistics on violence against women are staggering – even overwhelming. Often, women are thought of as the weaker sex, unable to defend themselves effectively against a strong male attacker. It’s this kind of thinking that hurt women.

The truth is that women CAN and SHOULD fight back when they are threatened. It takes a lot of courage to fight back, though, and many myths exist regarding women’s self-defense training. These myths include:

- You have to learn martial arts to defend yourself
- There’s no way you can over-power your attacker
- Just give in and let them have what they want
- If someone wants to get to you, they will no matter what you do
- All you need to know to defend yourself is how to fight

All of these statements are, indeed, myths. There are many, many ways you can protect yourself from being compromised or assaulted. They don’t necessarily involve martial arts, they don’t require you to know how to fight, and they definitely don’t require you to give in to your attacker.
