"For thirty years her reign of peace, The land in blessing did increase;
And she was blessed by every tongue, By stern and gentle, old and young.
Yea, even the children at their mothers feet, Are taught such homely
rhyming to repeat, "In latter days from Brahma came,
To rule our land, a noble Dame, Kind was her heart, and bright her fame

10. Case Example
A man tells of a story of his daughter who came out of the Mall and was walking to
her car when she noticed two older ladies in front of her walking to their car.
She saw a police car come towards her with 2 cops, who said hello. She also noticed
that all 8 handicap spots were empty.
As she neared her car, she saw a man a few rows over calling to her for help. He
wanted her to close his passenger side door. He was sitting in the drivers side and said
he was handicapped.
He continued calling until she turned and headed back to the Mall, then he began to
curse her. She began to ask herself, why didn't he ask the two older ladies, or the
Police for help. And why wasn't he parked in the open handicap spots?
She returned with two male friends and pointed to the car. The man was getting out
of the backseat into the front and sped off.

MYTH 1:
I AM TOO WEAK/ FRAGILE/ OLD/ OUT-OF-SHAPE TO LEARN MARTIAL ARTS.
• You are not getting trained to be the next
Karate Kid.
• You are merely learning how to protect
yourself, should the need arise.
• “Self defense is more about superior
deception and manipulation, this
requires thinking capacity rather than
brawn.
• It can be learned even at 70.
• A woman who is aware of the possibility
of attack and confident in her ability to
fight abuse can fight back both mentally
and physically. Self-defence techniques
teach you how.
27. MYTH 2:
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE I DO NOT STEP OUTSIDE THE
HOUSE AFTER DARK
27
• Most sexual assault crimes happen
within homes, and are perpetrated
by those who are known to the
victim.
• Walking alone in the dark is not the
only dangerous thing you do
28. MYTH 3:
I MOVE ONLY AMONG WELL-EDUCATED PEOPLE; THEY ARE NOT CRIMINALS
• We have been culturally conditioned that people with a high status in society such as
doctors, teachers or religious people will never attack anyone.
• The truth is that assault cuts across all socio-economic classes. A person’s economic
status or educational background does not guarantee non-violence or such crimes.
28
29. MYTH 4: I DO NOT DRESS PROVOCATIVELY; SO I
DO NOT ATTRACT UNWANTED ATTENTION
• Sadly, at least some women still think that the
victim is to be blamed.
• Most Crimes against women happen because an
attacker happens to be in the vicinity of a person
whom he thinks he can overpower easily, not
because she was in a bikini.
29
30. • Self-defense is primarily about being aware of
warning signs, recognizing dangerous
situations so you can avoid them and
understanding that you are physically as
capable as any man to fight back.
• Self-defence skills prepare you to fight rather
than freeze.

MEN ARE PHYSICALLY STRONGER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SUBDUE THEM

PRACTICE AWARENESS
This is your first line of defense. Most people
think of kicks to the groin and blocking punches
when they hear the term “self-defense.”
USE YOUR SIXTH SENSE
“Sixth sense.” “Gut instinct.” Whatever you call
it, your intuition is a powerful subconscious
insight into situations and people.
TAKE SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING
It is important to evaluate the goals and practical
usefulness of a women’s
self-defense program
ESCAPE IS ALWAYS YOUR BEST OPTION
What if the unthinkable happens? You are suddenly
confronted by a predator who demands that you go with
him

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO FIGHT
Unfortunately, no matter how diligently we
practice awareness and avoidance techniques,
we may find ourselves in a physical
confrontation.
PEPPER SPRAY CAN BE YOUR SECRET
WEAPON.
Pepper spray, like other self-defense aids, can be
a useful tool.
SAFEGUARD AGAINST HOME INVASIONS.
This crime is on the rise. The primary way to prevent a
home invasion is simply to never, ever open your door
unless you either are certain you know who’s on the
other side
AVOID A CAR-JACKING.
Lock all doors and keep windows up when driving. Most
car-jacking take place when vehicles are stopped at
intersections.
