Take a tip from Bruce Lee

The best recipe for simple, direct and effective self defense for women, college students, senior citizens and everyone in between comes from the "Little Dragon" himself. When once asked about how he would teach his wife to defend herself, Bruce Lee had no misgivings about how he would do so. In spite of his near-supernatural abilities or vast reservoir of martial arts skills, he said he would teach her to

"poke 'em in the eyes, hit 'em in the groin and run like hell!"

Now for years, almost every woman who has reached a high level of rank ion traditional martial arts, or any girl who now competes in boxing or MMA who has seen that quotes will likely smirk at it, thinking to themselves "Well I made my black belt," or "I fought in the ring" so as to thumb their nose at Bruce's quote as some chauvinistic remnant of Leave it To Beaver era thinking....

But they're wrong.

Bruce is right.

Why?

Because MMA, boxing, martial arts and average self defense classes aren't reality. They don't deal with situations, adrenaline rushes, unfavorable circumstances, distractions and the like. Without exception, all of the aforementioned arts/sports put you in one context (i.e., if I'm boxing, I can't kick...)

Bruce was a genius-sadly too many people think of Bruce Lee and they think of the stupid impersonations in TV and cartoons( WATTTAAAAHHH!!! and all that crap).

Bruce knew what was up- eyes, throat, groin, shins. Simple. Direct. Effective. Hard. Fast. Ruthless.

Remember this-MMA, boxing and karate are not self defense. They are great arts to train in for a variety of reasons but self defense isn't one of them...

be proud of your accomplishments but don't act smug at Bruce's philosophy of women and self defense, because like it or not it's dead-on-balls accurate.
