Women’s self-defense classes, seminars and videos are short-changing women. The idea that women can learn to defend themselves against men, without training with men, is simply false.

There are many who say women learn self-defense better in an exclusively women-only environment. The so-called “experts” say it is less intimidating if women don’t have to compete with the men, or, it is easier (more comfortable) to discuss subjects like rape without men present. So, the new trend in self-defense programs is “Women’s Self Defense” classes.
