This is one thing every woman should learn. Be it street fighting or a self defense class. Having PRACTICED hitting someone will give her the courage and confidence to do it when she needs to. I've heard too many times of women who were frozen because they didn't think they could fight the attacker off and were afraid of getting hurt worse BY resisting. Learning to fight is empowering. I plan to put my daughter in a self defense class or martial arts class eventually. It may actually be something I do fairly soon. Empowering kids to learn to fight against this kind of thing is worth so much. As soon as she can tell the difference between fighting other kids over stupid stuff and defending herself - that's when she needs the class.
