In a far corner of the bustling Midwest Wireless Civic Center floor Saturday, Sam Murray showed a group of about 20 women how to gouge eyes, punch ribs and break free of a bear hug.
The tae kwon do instructor got a few attendees of Women’s Show 2006 to giggle when he demonstrated effective groin attacks. But his self-defense message was deadly serious.
Murray startled some of his audience when he told them one out of six women in the United States is the victim of rape or attempted rape, according to national surveys.
“A lot of people become victims because they just don’t know what to do,” he said.
