After a heated discussion about which martial art would be best suited for women and their self-defense, we decided to put together an article to hopefully spark discussion and hear some feedback on your thoughts. For women it’s not if you need to learn self defense tactics, but when. We have all listened and hopefully heeded the advice of officials dealing with these types of crimes; be aware of the current situation you are getting yourself into, be aware of those around you, avoid certain areas at night, stay within large groups of people around you, or better yet, stay with your friends. Your safety starts with these tips.
Let’s review the tools that are available, but known to have problems; A stun gun is a portable, battery-powered device that delivers electrical current to an assailant, a Taser can deliver wires that are electrified to immobilize from a distance. These tools are effective because using them will help you run away from the attacker. Remember, the laws differ in various states. Aerosol pepper spray is considered one of the most effective self-defense tools for women. This is very likely to stop, or at least discourage, an aggressor due to blindness, coughing, and choking. What bothers a lot of women about this is that you have to be very close to the abuser, and if it were me, I would want to put as much distance as possible between myself and the abuser. Other tools include the persuader or kubotán to hit, and knives, keys or whistles. Again, to succeed, you need to be close to the attacker. A woman could easily be dominated in a situation like this. We’ve all heard a lot about guns lately. I think you can make up your own mind about this suggestion. I’m not going to touch gun rights with a 10 foot pole.
OK, now we are at the main gist of this article; women and Brazilian jiu-jitsu and whether it would be an effective way to protect yourself. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a form of martial arts that can be easily used for self-defense. It can also be found as one of many styles in the sport of mother. At this point you’re probably thinking, that’s a man’s sport, no, not really. The reason you think that is because the women who are a part of this sport are not as well known as the men, but below are short biographies of two women who are champion competitors in this sport. There are many disciplines for motherThat’s why it’s called mixed martial arts. Within jiu-jitsu alone, there are many defensive tactics that you can become very adept at by going to blow job training, taking private lessons from a qualified instructor, or attending seminars.
First, you’ll build confidence, self-esteem, and a healthier body. If you ever come face to face with a situation like the one we’ve covered, you’ll want these traits to take root in you. Certain techniques that are part of Brazilian jiu-jitsu are perfect for women looking for self-defense techniques. If you’re a petite woman without much strength, the time it takes to learn and practice these techniques will build the physical and mental strength you’ll need to overpower an attacker. The time and effort will be well spent, trust me.
The two women below have competed at the highest level, won championships and have given much back to the blow job community.
Hillary Williams is from Arkansas. She is a middleweight in blow job which is somewhere around 150 lbs. She was born in October 1988 and is a natural competitor. She has always been involved in sports in one way or another, from volleyball to soccer and softball to golf. She was always active, and during the off-season of her usual sports, her goal was to stay in shape to be ready for the start of the next season. So, she decided that training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu with two experienced coaches would be the best option for her. She was eighteen years old and loved her first experience with blow job. Again, with such a competitive spirit, she began to compete in local tournaments with the other girls, and from time to time, she would venture out to compete with men. Always wanting to train with the best, she searched around the US for as much training as possible and finally went to the source of blow job, Brazil. He began to win 1st place in many of his competitions; she then received her brown ella belt, the highest-ranking colored belt that later qualified her (officially) to teach lower-ranking students. Hillary received the black belt from her in 2010 and went on to win the World Championships combining the women’s brown and black belt division. Hillary is now studying at the University of Arkansas, combining her studies with training, making time for a bit of kickboxing. Hillary has a website where you can ask questions about self defense, bjj, med school, horses, puppy adoption, she does it all.
