Can a 5 foot, 115lb woman defend herself against a 6 foot 200lb brute? Even if she has been training in the martial arts for over 10 years? The answer is yes and no. I know this answer will get me into some hot debate with my wife. lol..I will start with the later response, No a female cannot appropriately defend themselves even if they have been trained in the some sort of martial arts or self defense program. The reason is that physiologically a man is naturally bigger and stronger. A woman will be at a disadvantage from this standpoint. I don’t care if you’re Bruce Lee daughter(Shannon Lee), physically if you’re up against a brute that is bent on doing you harm, it will be a tough uphill battle.

Now for the first response, Yes a female can defend themselves from harm, but from the standpoint of a survivor. In other words a female will take some serious licks before she escapes from harm. Females will find that when you are up against a 100% psychopath person(male) intent on hurting, maiming you. That one groin kick just won’t drop them to their knees like their instructor had told them. Or maybe, that quick eye jab that is said to effectively stop them in their tracks. All it will do is just annoy your attacker even more.

What I am saying is this, a female or even a male will have some difficulty defending themselves from an attacker that have superior size and strength. I don’t like and will not paint a pretty picture for females or males that they can kick somebody butt. In the real world, people will get hurt.

So tell us what you think? Please leave a comment..

In this video you will witness a Karate chop to the side of the neck and BAM! The guy falls over and is unconscious. They even bring in an anasthesia expert to monitor a subject that is about to get Karate chop. The video is somewhat comical in a sense that you see a person get hit to get knocked out.

I have never done this Karate chop to a person, but I have done a palm strike to the back of the head near the upper neck area. What this does is that it knocks the person silly. You don’t really get knocked out, but you do feel dazed. So yeh, I highly recommend this simple self defense technique that anyone can do. In the future I will cover this palm strike in our other segments of women self defense techniques.
