Stress Factor`s Women`s Self Defense class introduction. In this video we explain a few key differences in the male and female bodies when it comes to fighting and we go over some of the primary tools and basic rules ...
Great tutorial. However my only drawback would be that it's mostly fine motor skills, and average people who do not have the luxury of time to train repetitively may not be able to execute this effectively and in it's entirety. If they are under intense stress, or if they can't or are having trouble seeing (i.e. darkness), it may add to the difficulty.
I'm not discrediting this, by no means, just giving some constructive-criticism for people to think about when they train.
@SpearHeadTheAssault I don't think visibility is an issue, but I definately agree that a technique with as many layers as this one would be more effective if practiced repeatedly with a partner. especially the sweep. It takes a little practice to learn how to break someones base. But, having your eyeballs mashed can make you retreat wich helps with that here. ...
@MsVyly My friend Ari Bolden at Submissions 101 has made an excellent video of this technique. Just search "scissor sweep" and you will find it. Thank you for your interest, and good luck with your training.
Great! But a attacker that is not completely stupid would keep posture in the first place as long as the victim continues fighting (not that I question that part, keeping fighting buys time - always good). Therefore I would put a little more priority in the hip escape especially as keeping posture comes by instinct (keeping your eyes from her hands) while defending against the hip escape/ sweep requires training. On the other hand your way is extremly easy and if successful inidiately decisive.
In my opinion, a smaller defender puts herself at greater risk if she engages from under a mount. Going to a guard position and executing wrestling moves needs a clear head and some skill. Also, if the girl's reach is short, controlling the head from the under a mount is very difficult.
Perhaps the girl's first priority should be to shrimp out to disengage as quickly as she can and then run or fight as the situation demands.
@RollTheDice00 That is a tough one. My best advise is to not let him get you to that point, but if he does just remember if it takes both of his hands to hold your wrists he can't hurt you. He can't punch or choke or pull off your clothes. He will have to let go of one hand to do more. You will just have to be ready to strike as soon as you can.
@DarkMagician70 and what about when he is holding both my wrist with only one hand and is partly laying on me? I mean when already past the moment when he is coming to me and it´s possible to throw him away.....
@adria138 You can escape that easily, if your elows are apart, You just bring your elbows together like a pair of scissors. If they are together you bring them apart like opening a pair of scissors. This action changes the shape of the handle he is trying to hold making it imposible.No one should be able to hold both of your wrist with one hand. If you learn how to attack the soft targets ( eyes, throat, groin, etc.) and scream for help you can make him run
@tdbevolution I disagree. A rapist will most often release one hand to try and remove the clothes. If you strike hard and fast at the right target, you can turn the tables at that moment!
@DarkMagician70 Rapist Yes...Murderer no...a girl here in Little Rock just got killed and sex was not even the case. She was kidnapped for two days and found in a fishing hole area. I agree with you and then I saw what I said and think "oh well I can not really agree with what I said." Yet, a man who attacks a woman attacks...there have been reports where the woman is raped only after the fact. The mind of a criminal...hmmm interesting.
@dcpinner Absolutely, that is a very dangerous position.I teach a few trap, buck ,and roll techniques for that, but have not made a video of any. You can search "mount escapes" or "escaping the full mount" here on youtube and you will find several
Pepper spray and a small folding knife is better. A large and much stronger man will overpower the woman and she might be under too much stress to gouge out the eyes and flip him around
the best way would be to get your right arm by the right side side o his head and push him to the righ t to the ground...the elbow would do the rest.. you get up kick the balls.. and run
Gouging his eyes out, while an effective tactic is going to get you into a lot of trouble. I want you to be able to defend yourself. I also don't want you to have the rest of your life ruined in civil court. Don't kid yourself, permanently blind him and he WILL drag you into civil court seeking millions in damages. And these criminals have won more than a few times. Defend yourself, but be smart about it.
Hi - it's too late now - but, what if a guy who is at least 1 ft taller than you has you pinned against a wall? how would one have escaped? thanks. good video by the way, wish i'd known it 6 years ago!
@GeminiFirewall Yes it is true that an attacker can punch over his head, but he has no power this way, can't see what he is swinging at, and in real life you would hold him there just a second or two while you where finding his eyes. So he might get in one or two weak punches, but that is a good trade conpared to what he would do if you didn't control his head
@GeminiFirewall Control posture, over-hook one arm, and grab the head. He'll still be able to throw with one ar, but if you tuck your head right, he can only hit the side or top of your head. Your face is protected. In any real situation, your going to get hit, period. But you can keep the hits from being detremental (sp?) until you can reverse the situation. I recommend controlling his posture, and doing a different scissor sweep.
@scythe0704 To clarify, I don't like the sweep shown in the video, because she doesn't have good control of his arm, or posture. She should hook the arm above his elbow. But don't reach up for it, collapse him forward with your guard (you should have done this anyway, to control his posture) that type of sweep works best when you keep the attacker's posture down, letting him be erect is just asking to get punched in the face and makes it harder to sweep him.
@scythe0704 One more thing, drag your free leg (the one that's not blocking) across his body when you sweep. Ran out of text on my last message. Hope that helps Gemini Firewall, look up different scissor sweeps from BJJ to see what I'm talking about.
@scythe0704 I know I said one more thing but... Look up the "oompah" as well. It's a sweep designed to work when your attacker is postured up. This is your back-up if you can't break him down or control his posture. You still hook the arm, and block one knee, but you lift your hips straight up. His high posture causes him to fall forward on an angle. Instead of rolling him to the side. This is the way to sweep someone with high posture. To me, this sweep looks like a sloppy cross of the two.

@scythe0704 Look up the oompah as well. It's a sweep that works when your attacker is postured up. If you can't control him for whatever reason, this is your back-up plan. You still hook the arm and block the leg, but you elevate your hips straight up. The high posture causes him to fall forward on an angle, as opposed to rolling him to the side. But your first attempt should be to control the posture and scissor sweep, to avoid being punched. If that fails go for the oompah.
@scythe0704 I'm guessing that in this situation (rape) the attacker may not actually try to pass the guard as that's exactly where he needs to be to do the deed. Unfortunately, real situations are a sloppy affair and technique will suffer through duress, which is where the eye gouge comes in... if someone rams their thumb into your eye, you're probably not going to be thinking about countering a sloppy sweep.
@GeminiFirewall Pull your knees closer to your ribs, cranking attacker's head to side. This exposes the side of attacker's neck for "Judo Chop" (look into brachial stuns and simple pressure points of the neck and collar). In BJJ this core motion can be a submission transitioning from the guard, which is very useful to know if you're on dirty blacktop and not blue foam padding.
@NinjaOfTheKyeboard1 There are lways other ways, and many of them are very good for those who have practiced them. but I try to show techniques that I think are the simplest, easiest and most effective. I know it looks bad, but when she has him in closed guard she is actually quite safe. I understand why you don't like it, but I bet you would remember it if you had to. That is why I like this one.
@DarkMagician70 I see. This next thing may sound weird, but how on earth did you get them to behave during this video? Whenever I teach this stuff, girls start giggling and stuff, and the boys are hootin'. How on earth did you get them to be so serious?!
@NinjaOfTheKyeboard1 I just make it clear to them how serious this subject is. and how inappropriate it is to snicker at a re-enactment of a woman being attacked.
@DarkMagician70 I have a problem with this technique.. What if my arms are too short? When my ex attacked me the first time, I tried to hit him in the face in the nose but he was choking me at arms length and I couldn't even brush his nose...
great video but I don't like the grip she uses to control his head in the first technique. Would be better if she used a grip like that in the muay thai clinch.
When your are attacked, do everything in your power to get away. Fight dirty, bite the attacker, use anything near you to attack the attacker with. Do every dirty trick in the book, if it works its good. Even if he gets badly injuried, its better than you getting hurt.
Really appriciate your work with these videos. I've done a bit of martial arts myself, nothing special but enough to be able to defend myself. My gf asked me to teach her some and that's where the problem came in as she's a lot smaller and the techniques I'd use would not work for her too well. Your videos gave me some good tips and we practise these every now and then. Afterall you can't practise protecting your own health too much! :)
Would work well if you had your arms free. I got attacked in this position but my arms were down along my stomach, and the filth was lying on them. I tried hurting his stomach, but didnt succeed as he brutally punched my head, whilst choking me with his other hand. I couldn't even get my legs up far enough to kick him between his legs. It all happened so quick and I was out cold within a matter of about 15 seconds if I remember right. I had injuries consistent with passing out from strangulation
the first part of the video was good (when she was on the bottom)
but the technique she used to get on top DOES not work against another person in real life (would be more realistic with buck and roll)
Also, i dont think asking someone to strike is a good idea because changes are the punch will be weak due to poor techniques and she will break her hand
LOL, "don't worry, he's gonna turn up in an emergency room later" that made me laugh(: Thanks for the videos! There are a lot of creeps wanting to hurt young girls like me, I'm alone after school, and got chased by a guy I was to fast for him, but if I wasn't I don't know what would have happened. I'm glad I watched these, in the unfortunate event that I am not faster then the attacker, I'll know what to do, again thanks.
@33sadie Thank you, I hope no one you know ever need to do this, but am glad that so many have watched it. and will know what to do if....Now go practice!! and show my videos to your friends, <3
It dosent matter what state your in a chocke depending on how agressive is somthing that can put u in a situation were you can use forse upto and beond the attack and if your a girl it don't matter you just have to be scared and you can beat the crap out of the attacker
Nicely done, Saddly, everything after the eye gouge gets legally tricky here in the states. Hell depending on those involved even the eyegouge might create legal problems. As SD laws varry greatly from state to state and nation to nation I advise any practitioner to find out what system of laws they're under and act accordingly. That said the techniques presented are solid. And with regular practice quite valuable. Cudos.
Your comments on my videos show that you have a solid understanding empty hand combat and self protection methodology. as always I respect, and accept comments, and critiques from those in the know.
hot girl. i wouldn't mind practicing that move with her :D
anyhow, this technique completely disregards the reaction of the guy. the guy still knows the location of the girls eyes, so he can do the same to her. he can also still punch her, and restrain her arms. and that last move where she goes on top of him is totally dependent on him having an unstable position (and his weight and strength).
with that said, its probably best to be preventive by raising hell when you get assaulted. people like that dont like attention. when it gets physical, maybe it maximizes your chances of getting away unscathed by simply letting it happen...
You heard the man: you're going to have to "practice -- a lot". What's shown here is sound. It addresses a specific scenario under a set of narrow assumptions (I believe DarkMagician70 is underscoring this, but it bears repeating). Training allows you to deal with any number of variables that could change the scenario presented.
I look forward to viewing more videos on this channel.
this is so helpful .. aww i actually can't beleive people go to this much trouble to try and help young women. and the advice at the end when he was like just keep running until your safe.. made me want to cry .. x sounds stupid but inless you've been in that situation i guess you don't know how hard it would be to fight back or not. nice video i guess i should say thankyou lol.x
ok i agree that haveing a gun and understanding how to use it is good yes. however it could be bad too cause if you are carring a gun on you and somehow the gun falls out or the attacker gets the gun then your sitution just got alot more complicated.
I like everything up to the scissor sweep. It's a good technique, I just think it takes much more practice than any of the others in the vid. I usually just say put your feet on their hips and kick and push them off of you, continue to kick from the ground until you can safely stand up. While mount is a better postition you can just as easily get reversed again. Of course like you point out the more practice you can get in the better off you'll be.
We also do a version with a heels on hips push to kicks for when the arms are held and she can't complete the eye gouge, but that technique would work quite well in conjuction as well
i understand that. but, i still thinks she's better off getting to her feet. if he grabs a leg she's better off kicking him in the face with the free leg than sitting on him punching him in the face. he's just as likely to grab her arm while being punched and roll her back over.
I say in the video "as soon as she can she runs away" So if the girl feels that she can safely escape without pounding on him, then of course she could do that.
Jinxie, I don't know where to buy pepper spray in the UK, but if you go to my channel page, and look in my friends list., you can click on MATrainingTV channel. My friend Lee Mainprize should be able to help you.
no. CFS is caused by the body forgetting to heal itself completely after it's suffered a viral infection. it's basically like living with the feeling u get for the next week after having had a really bad cold day in day out. There is no healthy way for me to gain energy other than eating healthily and doing very graded exercise and some people with CFS never recover and gradually get worse eventually becoming bedbound but with others it disappears as quickly as it appeared...
i used to do ballet so my leg strength is much greater than my arm strength however, now i'm older and need to learn this kind of thing for my own safety... i can't. I have now got chronic fatigue syndrome (or CFS) which means any mental or physical exertion wipes me out for days afterwards,,. it's because i'm not physically strong that i decided to look for some self defence tips that would help me if i were to get into an unfortunate situation...
Actually the eye gouge alone is probaly enough to stop an attack, and change a rapists mind. The scissor sweep gets you off of the bottom, then you might be able to just run away
Why would you have it in your car when you are carrying a permit? That's why people invented holsters to put the firearm in to strap it to your body for quick access.
Becuase, even where it is legal to carry a gun 99% of all businesses forbit the carrying of firearms on the premises. Also it is illegal to carry firearms in any Government building, school or college campusses, or anywhere that serves or sells alchohol.
So if you can't carry it in with you, where would it be when you are walking out?
@DarkMagician70 Yeah, and he's not gonna wait for the girl to get her gun, Mace, tazer, kubotan, or the "Defender"(Predator from "Men who stare at goats"), so she can use it on him; he's gonna pursue the girl. What if he can endure a faceful of pepper spray.
Why not? Can't you get a firearms license? What about pepper spray or taser? They reduce any big man into a puddle of tears.
Can you not use steroids to counter CFS? People who are born with the lack of muscle mass undergo steroids treatment to promote muscle growth. In addition to muscle growth, steroids also promote faster recovery.
Firearms are banned in the UK. Further it takes training to be able to handle a firearm mentally and physically. I have heard statistics that often people get their own weapons taken and used against them. Just having a gun does not guarantee safety and it is not as easy as pulling the trigger. I would say the same for any weapon if you don't practice with it under stress you won't know how your going to react in a real situation. If it's buried deep in your purse forget about it.
Actually I don't think getting a gun and knowing how to use it is a bad suggestion. I just wanted to point out that it isn't that easy and I would suggest training as well as the considerations that DarkMagician pointed out. I don't know the laws on carrying knives in the UK but that is the best second choice. Again with any weapon you have to be prepared to use it. I'm not informed on CFS so I don't want to make any uneducated statements in reference to it.
I don't know the laws on firearms or/and knives in the UK either but given that the use of a knife requires you to be close to a person, compared to a gun with 50m of effective range.
It would be safer for the girl to keep her distance and still be able to drop the attacker if necessary.
I won't disagree that distance is a benifit of a firearm. However, I would say that self defense confrontations don't take place at 50m they happen up close. Not to be rude but I think you have very limited experience with firearms and/or self defense.
On a defensive standpoint, I will have to say that distance is the most important role.
I had been very lucky not be have the need for self defence experience, but I am quite familiar with the M16, SAW and M60 if that counts for anything.
And I would agree that distance is important. But how would you invision the attack taking place. Someone shouting from several yards away "I'm coming to rape you" lol? How about being ambushed in a parking garage, elevator, in a car, in her home? The truth is that most rapes are by people they are aquanted with or know very well and not by the stranger hiding in the bushes about to jump out.
Semper Fi if you are/were a Marine, I am a former Marine as well.

His high posture causes him to fall forward on an angle. Instead of rolling him to the side. This is the way to sweep someone with high posture. To me, this sweep looks like a sloppy cross of the two.

@scythe0704 I know I said one more thing but... Look up the "oompah" as well. It's a sweep designed to work when your attacker is postured up. This is your back-up if you can't break him down or control his posture. You still hook the arm, and block one knee, but you lift your hips straight up. His high posture causes him to fall forward on an angle. Instead of rolling him to the side. This is the way to sweep someone with high posture. To me, this sweep looks like a sloppy cross of the two.

@scythe0704 Look up the oompah as well. It's a sweep that works when your attacker is postured up. If you can't control him for whatever reason, this is your back-up plan. You still hook the arm and block the leg, but you elevate your hips straight up. The high posture causes him to fall forward on an angle, as opposed to rolling him to the side. But your first attempt should be to control the posture and scissor sweep, to avoid being punched. If that fails go for the oompah.

@scythe0704 No the oompah is a mount escape you dip-shit, we're talking about attacking from the guard.

@scythe0704 My bad, other self. I got carried away thinking about failing to control posture. I just assumed he would pass. My mistake. :(

@scythe0704 I'm guessing that in this situation (rape) the attacker may not actually try to pass the guard as that's exactly where he needs to be to do the deed. Unfortunately, real situations are a sloppy affair and technique will suffer through duress, which is where the eye gouge comes in... if someone rams their thumb into your eye, you're probably not going to be thinking about countering a sloppy sweep.

@GeminiFirewall Pull your knees closer to your ribs, cranking attacker's head to side. This exposes the side of attacker's neck for "Judo Chop" (look into brachial stuns and simple pressure points of the neck and collar). In BJJ this core motion can be a submission transitioning from the guard, which is very useful to know if you're on dirty blacktop and not blue foam padding.

@NinjaOfTheKyeboard1 There are lways other ways, and many of them are very good for those who have practiced them. but I try to show techniques that I think are the simplest, easiest and most effective. I know it looks bad, but when she has him in closed guard she is actually quite safe. I understand why you don't like it, but I bet you would remember it if you had to. That is why I like this one.

@DarkMagician70 I see. This next thing may sound weird, but how on earth did you get them to behave during this video? Whenever I teach this stuff, girls start giggling and stuff, and the boys are hootin'. How on earth did you get them to be so serious?!

@DarkMagician70 I have a problem with this technique.. What if my arms are too short? When my ex attacked me the first time, I tried to hit him in the face in the nose but he was choking me at arms length and I couldn't even brush his nose...

When your are attacked, do everything in your power to get away. Fight dirty, bite the attacker, use anything near you to attack the attacker with. Do every dirty trick in the book, if it works its good. Even if he gets badly injuried, its better than you getting hurt.

Really appriciate your work with these videos. I've done a bit of martial arts myself, nothing special but enough to be able to defend myself. My gf asked me to teach her some and that's where the problem came in as she's a lot smaller and the techniques I'd use would not work for her too well. Your videos gave me some good tips and we practise these every now and then. Afterall you can't practise protecting your own health too much! :)
Tredic1 1 year ago
Would work well if you had your arms free. I got attacked in this position but my arms were down along my stomach, and the filth was lying on them. I tried hurting his stomach, but didnt succeed as he brutally punched my head, whilst choking me with his other hand. I couldn't even get my legs up far enough to kick him between his legs. It all happened so quick and I was out cold within a matter of about 15 seconds if I remember right. I had injuries consistent with passing out from strangulation

MRFreshBaby1 1 year ago
the first part of the video was good (when she was on the bottom)
but the technique she used to get on top DOES not work against another person in real life (would be more realistic with buck and roll)
Also, i dont think asking someone to strike is a good idea because changes are the punch will be weak due to poor techniques and she will break her hand

Eatdirt84 2 years ago
Nicely done, Saddly, everything after the eye gouge gets legally tricky here in the states. Hell depending on those involved even the eyegouge might create legal problems. As SD laws varry greatly from state to state and nation to nation I advise any practitioner to find out what system of laws they're under and act accordingly. That said the techniques presented are solid. And with regular practice quite valuable. Cudos.

hot girl. i wouldn't mind practicing that move with her :D
anyhow, this technique completely disregards the reaction of the guy. the guy still knows the location of the girls eyes, so he can do the same to her. he can also still punch her, and restrain her arms. and that last move where she goes on top of him is totally dependent on him having an unstable position (and his weight and strength).

with that said, its probably best to be preventive by raising hell when you get assaulted. people like that dont like attention. when it gets physical, maybe it maximizes your chances of getting away unscathed by simply letting it happen...

You heard the man: you're going to have to "practice -- a lot". What's shown here is sound. It addresses a specific scenario under a set of narrow assumptions (I believe DarkMagician70 is underscoring this, but it bears repeating). Training allows you to deal with any number of variables that could change the scenario presented.
I look forward to viewing more videos on this channel.

ok i agree that haveing a gun and understanding how to use it is good yes. however it could be bad too cause if you are carring a gun on you and somehow the gun falls out or the attacker gets the gun then your sitution just got alot more complicated.

I like everything up to the scissor sweep. It's a good technique, I just think it takes much more practice than any of the others in the vid. I usually just say put your feet on their hips and kick and push them off of you, continue to kick from the ground until you can safely stand up. While mount is a better postition you can just as easily get reversed again. Of course like you point out the more practice you can get in the better off you'll be.
HapkidoJosh 3 years ago
We also do a version with a heels on hips push to kicks for when the arms are held and she can't complete the eye gouge, but that technique would work quite well in conjuction as well
DarkMagician70 3 years ago
i think she should've ran immediately after the sweep
tmeezee 3 years ago
She has to make sure he doesn't grab her leg and take her back down. That is why she punches him
DarkMagician70 3 years ago
i understand that. but, i still thinks she's better off getting to her feet. if he grabs a leg she's better off kicking him in the face with the free leg than sitting on him punching him in the face. he's just as likely to grab her arm while being punched and roll her back over.
tmeezee 3 years ago
Fair enough,
I say in the video "as soon as she can she runs away" So if the girl feels that she can safely escape without pounding on him, then of course she could do that.

no. CFS is caused by the body forgetting to heal itself completely after it's suffered a viral infection. it's basically like living with the feeling u get for the next week after having had a really bad cold day in day out. There is no healthy way for me to gain energy other than eating healthily and doing very graded exercise and some people with CFS never recover and gradually get worse eventually becoming bedbound but with others it disappears as quickly as it appeared...

I have now got chronic fatigue syndrome (or CFS) which means any mental or physical exertion wipes me out for days afterwards,,. it's because i'm not physically strong that i decided to look for some self defence tips that would help me if i were to get into an unfortunate situation...
JinxieMinx 3 years ago
Actually the eye gouge alone is probaly enough to stop an attack, and change a rapists mind. The scissor sweep gets you off of the bottom, then you might be able to just run away
DarkMagician70 3 years ago
how about just buy a gun? you dont need to be that strong squeeze the trigger
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
Yeah, then when you get attacked you can say, "Hang on a second while I go get my gun out of the car"
DarkMagician70 3 years ago
Why would you have it in your car when you are carrying a permit? That's why people invented holsters to put the firearm in to strap it to your body for quick access.
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
Becuase, even where it is legal to carry a gun 99% of all businesses forbit the carrying of firearms on the premises. Also it is illegal to carry firearms in any Government building, school or college campusses, or anywhere that serves or sells alchohol.
So if you can't carry it in with you, where would it be when you are walking out?
DarkMagician70 3 years ago
Well, we all wish we are Bruce Lee but we are not. Given JinxieMinx's condition, physical resistance is pretty much out.
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
@DarkMagician70 Yeah, and he's not gonna wait for the girl to get her gun, Mace, tazer, kubotan, or the "Defender"(Predator from "Men who stare at goats"), so she can use it on him; he's gonna pursue the girl. What if he can endure a faceful of pepper spray.

More to the point, you can't just go buy a gun... i'm from the UK. AND i'm 17...
JinxieMinx 3 years ago
Why not? Can't you get a firearms license? What about pepper spray or taser? They reduce any big man into a puddle of tears.
Can you not use steroids to counter CFS? People who are born with the lack of muscle mass undergo steroids treatment to promote muscle growth. In addition to muscle growth, steroids also promote faster recovery.
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
Firearms are banned in the UK. Further it takes training to be able to handle a firearm mentally and physically. I have heard statistics that often people get their own weapons taken and used against them. Just having a gun does not guarantee safety and it is not as easy as pulling the trigger. I would say the same for any weapon if you don't practice with it under stress you won't know how your going to react in a real situation. If it's buried deep in your purse forget about it.
HapkidoJosh 3 years ago
Like I said before, my suggestion was based on JinxieMinx's physical condition. If you have a better suggestion for her, let's hear it.
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
Actually I don't think getting a gun and knowing how to use it is a bad suggestion. I just wanted to point out that it isn't that easy and I would suggest training as well as the considerations that DarkMagician pointed out. I don't know the laws on carrying knives in the UK but that is the best second choice. Again with any weapon you have to be prepared to use it. I'm not informed on CFS so I don't want to make any uneducated statements in reference to it.
HapkidoJosh 3 years ago
I don't know the laws on firearms or/and knives in the UK either but given that the use of a knife requires you to be close to a person, compared to a gun with 50m of effective range.
It would be safer for the girl to keep her distance and still be able to drop the attacker if necessary.
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
I won't disagree that distance is a benifit of a firearm. However, I would say that self defense confrontations don't take place at 50m they happen up close. Not to be rude but I think you have very limited experience with firearms and/or self defense.
HapkidoJosh 3 years ago
On a defensive standpoint, I will have to say that distance is the most important role.
I had been very lucky not be have the need for self defence experience, but I am quite familiar with the M16, SAW and M60 if that counts for anything.
chairmanmao89 3 years ago
And I would agree that distance is important. But how would you invision the attack taking place. Someone shouting from several yards away "I'm coming to rape you" lol? How about being ambushed in a parking garage, elevator, in a car, in her home? The truth is that most rapes are by people they are aquanted with or know very well and not by the stranger hiding in the bushes about to jump out.
