Structure of a womens self defense class??

[Jonathan Randall]

Remember Erik, I was consulting; running a couple of crews at a couple of different locations for 15 years - for a period of three years I had three bars for three nights minimum every weekend, with an added special event a few times a month too.

Wow, you must be good not to be so torn up!

Seriously, with the newer generation of flip lock-blades that are so easy to conceal and deploy, you're both skilled and lucky to not have been seriously hurt.

What was your experience with bladed weapons and in what ways have your experiences modified the manner in which you instruct your female students (thread topic)? Thanks.

Another point to be made here, for the original poster, this is why simply having MA training doesn't qualify you to teach women's self-defence and the reality of violence - not when there are truly experienced folks out there such as Jeff who can do so correctly.
