Women's self defence

Why my Hubby can't watch martial arts movies...

Having watched Chuck for 2 seasons now, I can see quite clearly why my Hubby can't watch martial arts action scenes. They make me cringe, and I have no comprehension of Hubby's skill.

Real life self defence is nothing like what goes on in the movies and nothing like I learned in Taekwondo when I passed my black belt. The real thing is very sudden, small, decisive and scary.

There's no fighting as such in what Hubby teaches. The attacker begins to move and suddenly its over. I guess this doesn't look so great on film.

You know my name

I think this lyric is very relevant for self defence: "Arm yourself because no one else here will save you".
