i am woman, eat my fist...
Anyone, man or woman, that thinks they will be empowered to neutralize any attacker through training in these exaggerated self-defense programs is watching too many Chuck Norris movies. I have trained in martial arts for nearly twenty years. I know men who have trained for as long and have had their asses handed to them by loaded tavern patrons. It is said that what counts isn't "the size of the guy in the fight", it's "the size of the fight in the guy." That may be true in some cases, but the size of the guy in the fight is still pretty important. Dr. Ruthless has some martial arts training, stands around 5' and weighs probably 125 lbs or so. I don't like her chances going toe to toe with most men, least of all a professional predator.
Programs should strive to instruct students to take every necessary step to avoid confrontation altogether, then focus on three or four simple escape techniques. Escape is the only real option. It is unreasonable and irresponsible to give the (false) impression that a physically weaker defender can overpower and destroy a stronger, seasoned attacker. I am not saying it's impossible for a woman to kick the crap out of a man, but like it or not, it's unlikely.
You've noted that you're a martial artist. I studied for about 5 years so you're way ahead of me. I was advanced enough that I got to be the punching bag for defense courses so I know first hand how to enable the training through cooperation. I'm glad you're calling this video for what it is. Hopefully, the women who watch this or train with her will always be attacked by men who simply grab them and stand with their legs wide open waiting to be kneed. You're 100% correct. The best self-defense is not putting yourself in a position to be attacked and to have enough skills that, if attack, you can get away.
Wow...she beats the shit out of everyone one of them. She uses the word "savage" well yes, I'd call that savage use of ones knee and karate chop to the throat. I just bet your nuggets crawled up 4 inches watching that video. I do have to agree, the best defense is to avoid such a situation at all costs. However, if said situation happens, I'm all for employing any and all measures, including savage ones, to protect myself.
