i would like to take my 2 nieces and my self to a women's self defense class. i live in Orange County CA. i want a class where they teach how to use pepper spray and some maneuvers incase there are attached. i tried looking on-line, but all i can find are karate classes. i want something different, like teaching them what to do and how to survive if something terrible were to happen. any info u have or websites would be very grateful!!!
Self defense classes?
This is an easy one.
Call the police in your area.
They have a list of affordable classes local to you.
You are a good Aunt,it pays to be prepared.
Reply:I would recommend krav maga it is a combative martial that was developed to take down an attacker and take them down quick some classes teach how to use stun guns , pepper spray and more they will teach you how to defend some one else while taking on multiple attacker
warning it is hard and aggresive training not ment 4 a small cource
Reply:Besides teaching women self defense I suggest they bookmark these web pages in thier computers for on going study.I follow the procedures and advice given by the site owner.
I would think any instructor who is concerned for his/her female students would do the same.

Reply:call local martial arts places and they will probably have a selfdefence class. You're neices shouldn't learn how to use pepper spray, but know how to defend themselves against weapons, chokes and holds

Self defense classes?
How do I sign up to be the "attacker" in a women's self-defense class? I'm male, early twenties. Do I have to be a specific build or no?
And will they provide me with padding/a cup and other necessary equipment to protect myself? Or do I have to bring it?
If I don't bring any protection, does that mean I won't have ANY?
Do self defense classes still teach women to go for the groin on the "attacker" and how many times will I be kicked there? Will it still hurt with a cup/padding on?
Self defense classes?
Usually the attacker is one of the assistant instructors. The only way to know is if you find some classes and ask to be their attacker. I doubt that they would just let you do it without knowing you because there is liability involved. If you are too aggressive you might hurt someone who is just beginning to learn.
If you do find some that will let you, I'm sure that they will have the gear already.
And it never feels good to get kicked in the groin no matter what you are wearing.
If you have a martial arts background you could buy some gear for yourself and then approach a martial arts school about starting a women's self defense course.

Self defense?
How can I be a model mugger for a women's self defense class? How often will I get kicked in the nuts and will it hurt? Any girls been n a self defense class and kicked the guy n the balls?
Self defense?
Why would you want to volunteer to let women kick you in the nuts? It is very painful from what I hear. Oh, I get it your into that dominatrix stuff and get off on women being violent to men. Before you quit your day job pay someone to kick you in the nuts as hard as they can and then you can determine if you really want to become a self-defense dummy.
Reply:it depends on how much respect or care you have for your twins
Reply:You need proper protective gear.
Ever seen the shows where they show k9 units getting trained and the guy looks like the BF Goodritch mascot?
You need a cup, some sturdy gear, and yes, you will need a heck of a lot of advil.
Reply:Wouldn't you be wearing protective gear?
Reply:well, depends what they are learning. you will get padding and such. it wont hurt or leave ya sore or anything. but you will feel a little bit.
Reply:Wear a cup. 'nuff said

What does the expression "grab, squeeze, pull" mean in women's self defense?
You grab the attackers testicles, squeeze them and yank.
What does the expression "grab, squeeze, pull" mean in women's self defense?
It means grab the hands, squeeze his stomach and pull his hair!
Reply:1.grab his penis.
2.squeeze his penis.
3.pull his penis.
repeat steps 1-3 several times and then get into another position
Reply:OOUCH poor guy...
Reply:grab the equipment of the perpetrator, squeeze the equipment (the harder the better) and give a very good pull. that should do the trick.
Reply:Thy are correct.
You are ripping nuts off,
hopefully.
Reply:grab the package, squeeze it like a vise, and when it gets yanked to the ground, its man is quick to follow
Reply:What if she's being attacked by a woman?
Reply:HEY............Did'nt I just answer this somewhere else ?????
Reply:You GRAB your gun and SQEEZE the trigger then then PULL the trigger a couple more times.
Reply:It's pretty self explanatory. Grabbing soft tissue, squeeze and pull to tear it away and cause damage.

Girls! I signed up as the "attacker" for a women's self defense class. .?
When I called the woman that is head of the class she told me all i had to bring was a jock. for some reason she was laughing while she said that. what does that mean and why was she laughing. do you even think a jock is needed
Girls! I signed up as the "attacker" for a women's self defense class. .?
It means they are going to hit you in your groin. Some women like to see a poor defenesless man in sheer utter pain.
Reply:Bring a jock and a prayer. One of the main self defense moves is a swift knee or kick to the balls. The head of the class laughed because she knows you'll need ice between your legs till Christmas.
Reply:Look you sound retarted. All you have to do is make it real in the scenario is try and cop as much butt and breast feels as u can until the ladies catch on and throw you out. Good Luck.

Reply:LOL-- what possessed you to do this?
I would think that they'd supply you with a helmet and proper protection, but I'd wear your own cup just in case.
Reply:From what I've seen in movies and such, they give you padding for the outside of your clothes...but on the inside, you might wanna bring your own gear.
Hey, it's a good deed.
But wait...I just remembered...no good deed goes unpunished.
Better bring protection.
Reply:I would think you should be wearing full protective gear, especially a cup.
Talk with the instructors, they should have the padding available to wear during class.
Reply:They should give you a padded suite and helmet. Bring a cup.
If nothing else this should expand your understanding of female rage.
Make sure your heath insurance is paid up ... if that class has any rape victim's you will get a whole new understanding of the word vengeance.
Reply:They probably provide you with stuff, bring a cup just in case.

Where can people volunteer for a women's self-defense class?
My b/f wants to be a "model-mugger" , but we can't find any places where he can volunteer to be one. Anyone know where to go in the Bay Area, CA area? Thanks!
Where can people volunteer for a women's self-defense class?
Is it really a good idea to participate in phony self defense techniques that are going to get people killed?
Real self-defense does not involve technique against an attacker. It involves learning evading, avoiding, escaping and situational awareness. Real techniques against an attacker, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN, who are far weaker than men involves the correct deployment of pepper spray, taser, and handguns. Is you boyfriend willing to be maced? Tasered? If not, then he is part of the problem....not the solution.

Reply:definatly bring one. haha. some women can really bring power to a punch...... or an upward kick if ya know what i'm sayin'.
Reply:You need some protection for your family jewels (LOL) because they teach to hit any area that will hurt real bad in those class. In other words you will be a punching and kicking bag for those women. Hope you are glutton for punishment.
Reply:a jock strap is DEFINATELY needed....your gonna get kicked and kneed many times.
Reply:Ok please don't say they are just women because right there is underestimation that can give the opponents the advantage in a fight. Also I am sure she is laughing because if you weren't aware you are going to more than likely going to be hit plenty of times by women in your balls and if you don't bring your jock then you are going to being feeling a huge amount of pain and might have to get surgrey because of getting hit so many times in the balls in a matter of how long those self defense classes are.
Important you are going to be the punching bag for women so expect to be recieving tons of physical abuse from the women so you don't go through with this if you can't put up with it. Also please follow the womans advice and wear the jock because when women can hit a man in the balls whether by a kick or a punch and it will put the man if he isn't wearing the jock in a world of pain, and if it's self defense with lots of women that will be doing it and you aren't wearing a cup then you will be down on the ground for a while and the pain will be harder to get through.

Just women? Women love beating men up especially in the groin. It's one of the main things they teach in basic self defense. You'll probably be limping when they finish with you.

Omg what is up with you? Are you obsessed with balls or something?
Reply:your gonna need top ice your sack after this. women think by kicking a man in the groin it will stop them. there is a few seconds of delay before the pain hits you. the women would be killed before the groin kick stopped him.
Reply:Because you are going to get your testicles smashed by women who are being taught how to apply their body weight to them in a kick or punch. Don't bother with the jock. You need some education, and this should give it to you. Enjoy!

Reply:you are in for learning something. My wife took one of those classes and it's no joke. You get a padded suit though, no?
Anyway, if they said bring a jock, bring a jock dude.
You should be in it for compassionate reasons if you're going to do this. Think of a woman you know and care about. What if she was raped and was taking this class to build her confidence back up and to avoid it in the future? Whatever you're interest in the matter, you should put yourself more in a woman's perspective. Something like 1 in 6 women are raped.
Reply:I sure am tired of seeing you post this question every day.
Since they're just women, why even bother to protect your genitals? I'm guessing they can't be seen with the naked eye anyway.

Do women's self defense classes actually work?
My wife has no confidence and low-self esteem, due to an abusive childhood. She tells me she feels victimized by people all the time due to her lack of self confidence and low self esteem. She feels affraid and vunerable towards a lot of people. do self defense classes really build self confidence and self esteem and teach you to say "NO" to people?
Do women's self defense classes actually work?
I believe it would be a help...it sounds like your wife may also benefit from some therapy also....
Reply:She would DEFINITELY benefit from martial arts. It will give her confidence, and help her feel more empowered. I would reccomend Tae Kwon Do, or Karate.
Reply:Absolutely!! I agree with the first answer as well.
Reply:Simple and short answer: ''NO''
Reply:Yes, or something similar to self defense classes. I had to take a defensive tactics class as part of my post academy, and it made me a strong person. I developed a thick skin as well. I also came from an abusive home and had the same low self esteem problem. Good Luck
Reply:A self defense class will empower her in any situation where she feels physically threatened. She will need assertiveness training to help with the self-esteem issues, though. A self-defense class will probably not do that for her.
Reply:I would say no, she would do better on a sports team (casual of course) than she would learning how to assault people. There is much more self-esteem to be gained being part of a group, and an essential member of said group, than there is in hurting someone.
Reply:Depends only martial arts class that might work for a woman is jiujitsu.
Reply:She would benefit. But women's ability to engage in serious hand to hand combat with men is rarely improved enough by even serious study of the martial arts.
Reply:It sure as hell worked for me. I can walk around downtown and fear nothing. In your wife's case, it might take more than that, but it can only be a positive influence on her.
Reply:Rio, if you think a dense class or two makes you invincible, you're insane. You need to be careful - someone double your weight probably won't be stopped by your little karate kick.

Michelle: You are wrong to assume that a woman trained in martial arts can't whip the hell out of a larger man. Crank much?
Reply:Some of the answers are hilarious. If she's delusional enough it might give her a false sense of confidence or something (note that the same women, delusional enough to think they work also think feminism is about equality). Personally I think they suck, they're the crap styles (incidentally tae kwan do is the most crap of all styles I'm aware of unless there is one where you punch yourself in the face that I haven't heard of) and they pander to them and hardly teach them how to punch.
An ex girlfriend of mine beat up some chick that got a brown belt from some all girls school for hitting on me and considered it so easy to find her training highly amusing (funnily enough I think it was tae kwan do or karate that she did haha), and my sister seemed to have no problem punching some chick who'd done a whole bunch of those classes in the face and tossing her into a patch of broken glass (for hitting on her boyfriend).
As for regular schools, you do realise there are umm men there that are umm "macho" and stuff right?
You know what happens to strong empowered womyn who go to a decent martial arts school, they get beaten down by guys with a lot of pent up aggression until the instructors ban us from sparring with them.
Favourite line from some butch army skank (sparring with someone unnamed who had been there shorter than she had):
"Woo okay you got me but it won't happen again... [1 second later].. HEY! That had a fair amount of power in it, if that had hit me.. [1 second later] ..STOP IT JUST RELAX .. do it like this.. [ 1 second later] .. NO THAT'S TOO HARD, I'll have to ask to have you put with someone else if you do that again...[1 second later..]...waahaaahaha"
So, the answer is no. Send her to a psychiatrist, after you dump her for being a fruit loop with issues that I personally wouldn't bother dealing with.
Incidentally, if you want to know whether a butch chick, or even two butch chicks can take on a guy, have a look at this:

Again, to some of the answers on here: HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Do women's self defense classes actually work?
I believe it would be a help...it sounds like your wife may also benefit from some therapy also....
Reply:She would DEFINITELY benefit from martial arts. It will give her confidence, and help her feel more empowered. I would reccomend Tae Kwon Do, or Karate.
Reply:Absolutely!! I agree with the first answer as well.
Reply:Simple and short answer: ''NO''
Reply:Yes, or something similar to self defense classes. I had to take a defensive tactics class as part of my post academy, and it made me a strong person. I developed a thick skin as well. I also came from an abusive home and had the same low self esteem problem. Good Luck
Reply:A self defense class will empower her in any situation where she feels physically threatened. She will need assertiveness training to help with the self-esteem issues, though. A self-defense class will probably not do that for her.
