LOL! Not likely, unfortunately. Its rare that a woman can take on a man like that, that's mainly the stuff of movies.
Especially a psychopath like Martin.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
Actually, you're comment reflects a misunderstanding of what self-defense means.
In general, self defense training for both men and women DOES NOT rely on physical strength. The reality of life is that people are generally picked on by someone who is bigger than them.
Women can learn techniques to minimize injury to their body while doing damage to their attackers.
For example, Krav Maga is a type of hand to hand combat that is good for women. It teachers women how to turn a man's physical strength in a DISADVANTAGE. In other words, you can use an attacker's body weight against him while striking vulnerable parts of the body (i.e. larynx, torso, abdomen) etc.
Also, many women's self defense centers have documented police reports that show women escaping from dangerous situations.
Self defense is about developing situational awareness to enhance your options in the event of being attacked.
a class on international economics would be good too.
Season's Greetings!
Sorry to disagree But most self-defence courses are crap and would not help you much against a determined man. I study marshal arts and can say that very few women can protect themselves. Just look at domestic violence statistics.
Women beating up men twice there size only happens in TV and Movies.
Well, she did knee him in the balls pretty good.
