I don't know if I am misunderstanding you guys, but I don't see why the idea of females learning to defend themselves is so funny. I can garauntee that there are women out there who could kick your asses, and mine. Not many, but there are. Also, a women doesn't have to be able to kick your ass in the octogan in order to be effective at doing enough damage to you in order to escape/defend themselves.
One of the reasons that I got this video was to help overcome the subconcsious attitude implanted in most womens minds, including my wifes to some degree, that being capable of operating under stress, and acting desicively and violently in order to protect yourself is something that is natural to men but not women. Attitudes like that are what teach women to be victims. When most people are attacked by criminals they go into "victim mode" instead of "cave-man I'm gonna fuck you up" mode. A lot of people have a divided mind when they are attacked, especially women, because of these attitudes. Instead of focusing on how they are going to hurt and disable this person in order to stop the attack, or get away, they are thinking "oh my God this isn't happening to me", "poor me I am a victim", or "I have to win this competition so I don't look stupid, my girlfriend is watching me and I don't want to look like a pussy". A fight or a self-defense situation isn't about a competition to see who can win, and it damn sure shouldn't be about giving up and being a victim, its about survival of the decisive and survival of the fittest, and the fittest is usually the person who is capable of being the meanest and delivering the most violence, as well as having training to revert to when you don't have time to think but must act. You have to learn to be pissed off and channel the fight or flight response into action and hurting this person if that's what it takes to stop this threat. Laughing at the phrase "fierce and female" is exactly why women think that they are not supposed to be capable of doing this.
anyway, rant off...
