Kait8.com recently reported on Joey Perry’s self-defense class. I include an excerpt:
Joey Perry teaches a free women’s self-defense class on the last Thursday of every month. He covers the basics such as knowing where and how to strike an attacker and shows you defense techniques even small women can use.
“Anyone can learn to protect themselves. As long as they have the right training and they practice they can do the moves just like anyone twice their size. It’s all about leverage and knowing where to strike.”
I do advise people, especially small women, to learn self-defense so they can do the best they can to protect themselves. However, I doubt any self-defense training can prepare a small woman to win a fight against an aggressive man twice her size. Of course, like us all, she can learn to avoid getting attacked in the first place. Learning to avoid dangerous situations in the first place protects a person more than learning how to get out of such situations.
Also, I just want to commend Joey Perry for not only teaching a class, but doing it free.
What do you think?
