Statistics Lines: 34 I may shortly find myself in the position of teaching a self-defense course for women. As I have never taught a course strictly focused on self-defense, I would like to solicit your opinions. If any of you have ever taken such a course, I would be most appreciative if you would take the time to answer the following questions : 1) What was the most useful thing you learned in the course? This includes things such as technique, mental attitude, etc. 2) What was the teaching style of your instructor, and how could it have been improved? 3) Have you ever had to use your knowledge in a critical situation? Have you avoided unpleasant situations through either increased self-awareness, or application of physical force? 4) What situations were covered in your course? 5) What situations were not covered that you feel should have been? 6) How have your attitudes changed since you learned self-defense? Thank you for your help in this matter. p.s. - please mail your responses -- Brian A. Ehrmantraut Ad Maioram Gloriam Hasturi! {allegra,alice,astrovax,rabbit,sickkids}!fisher!bae
