Self defence is a set of awareness, assertiveness, verbal confrontation skills, safety strategies, and physical techniques that enable someone to successfully escape, resist, and survive violent attacks. A good self defence course provides psychological awareness and verbal skills, not just physical training.
The danger faced by women had also been identified by research done by Statistics SA, and in a report on Victims of Crime released recently they state that one in every four women faces violence from within their own homes. A woman dies every eight hours in South Africa, and of those murdered, 55% are killed by their intimate partners.
With 109 rapes, 52 murders and 58 attempted murders A DAY in South Africa EVERY woman should be doing a self defence course!! It is unrealistic and unfair to expect the men in our lives, or other people, to protect us. Women need to take responsibility for their own safety and security.
