Re: Versus killed/raped/hospitalized????

I think you clarified the previous poster for me with the *culture of fear* statement. Thank you.

>>"My Father was an unarmed combat instructer for the army for many years, his advice was always , first, don't panic, if you panic no amount of training or weapons are going to be of any use to you. If you are not carrying a weapon, make use of whatever is around you, including whatever body parts you may have free."<<

Not panicking takes training for many...especially if they have a *fear* of these things, or have already been a victim in the past.

>>"I personally think it is far more important to teach my daughter to be calm, and be able to think, in any situation, than any martial arts training or weapons."<<

My point with an earlier post that a good MA or self defense school will spend a good deal of time (I believe it to be as much as 95% of the training) on being able to overcome your ego and fear in order to be able to clearly think through the situation at hand no matter how dire.
