I'm going to start teaching a Women's Defense class soon.

They say the most important thing a woman should do if attacked is to leave a mark, for evidence. But, if you were a bad guy attacking a woman and she scratched you, wouldn't you be pissed off and try to hurt her more?

Unless she could kill in you a quarter of a split second.

Bah, chicks can't fight...

wait, what?

I'm still a little skeptical about these women defense classes. They do build confidence, but do these techniques really work in realistic situations?

Yeah, scratching is good, especially if you can get some DNA under your nails...

We still got balls. It's our own personal kryptonite dangling between our legs.

Teach them how to emit mace from their fingertips.

I took a defense class in college as part of my wellness class. It was geared to women's defense. We learned lots of nice little tidbits like if you are getting raped, take the man's scrotum, grab it, pull down and then slam it up as hard as you can. He WILL drop. No matter how high it is.
And 10lbs of downwards pressue will rip off an ear.

Your question is akin to asking if any martial art technique will work in practical situations.

There is a spot on your body that if punctured by a one kuckle punch, will kill you.

There are nervous systems that run down your body. There are special points that once hit, will temporarily or worse paralize you. For example, if I strike your left nipple, you will lose control of your left arm. Imagine what happens to the one behind the chin?
