Question of the Day - 10/19/10

[Refugee 7]

Have you ever taken any self-defense classes? Could you defend yourself (physically) if you needed to?

[WildflowerNJ 136]

I have never taken any classes, no........but my brother-in-law teaches judo and has a black belt. I think I could take care of myself, yes.....

[Yer so bad 4]

I've never taken classes, but I'd like to. And I think I could defense myself, but not as a black belt...like a barbaric warrior, haha.

Lol, I remembered the sketch "Self-defense against fruits " by Monty Pythons, have you ever seen that?

[DCAHNM 0]

No, but I would like to.

[SingsInFrench 262]

No I never have. I probably couldn't defend myself as much as I would like to think.

[martin03345 167]

No but I'd like to think I could hold my own if I needed to

I took Kenpo Karate for about 3 years. Yeah, I think I could defend myself. After wards I probably wouldn't be able to move for a week, but I could do it.

[Pettyjunkie 0]

No, but I might be able to give a good struggle.

[Echosoftom 3]

Yes, I took one years ago when I lived in Oregon and there was a serial rapist on the loose. Our hospital offered the classes for free since a couple of the attacks had taken place on nearby hospital campuses. And yes, I could definitely defend myself. There are days I just WISH someone would F*$k with me!!

I haven't taken classes, but I have learned a few tips to defend myself in case I need to, hope I don't....

[Refugee 7]

Yes, I have. Yes, I could take care of myself.

Lol, Sharon ! Same here !

Yes, I took one, but the Pro-Ac ones I take at work are actually a lot more effective for quick getaways.

[Starfish 0]

Yes - and let me assure any of you whom have never been attacked, you don't have a freaking idea of just how hard it can be to defend yourself when your attacker catches you off guard. A lot of what I learned in that class was either simply ineffective or just pissed the guy off more.
