SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING FOR YOUNG WOMEN

THIS IS AN OPTION THAT YOU SHOULD AT LEAST CHECK OUT!

​

Supporters of self-defense training believe these courses will not only provide women with the physical survival techniques necessary to repel attacks effectively, but that this kind of training will also help to prevent future violence by developing traits such as assertiveness and confidence in individuals.  There is evidence that women who convey such characteristics are less likely to be victimized. 

 

Opponents argue that self-defense training does not properly prepare women for an attack, does not adequately address acquaintance rape threats, and can provide a dangerous false sense of security to students.
