A More Solid Defense
In light of the increase of attacks on campus, today’s front page story on the OL’ DIRTY is a piece on self-defense. Although the article advises using everything from hot coffee to car antennas (antenni?) as weapons, I did notice one seemingly obvious omission. Therefore, I present this as an alternative to concerned students:
Thanks to OC Publisher Guy for showing this to me. Also, here’s Monty Python’s classic take on self-defense.
It is a pity that the sociology professor made mace/pepper spray out to be nearly useless depending on wind conditions.
With proper training/knowledge and correct mind set wind conditions will have no bearing on the effectiveness of pepper spray.
Also, not all violent attacks are a surprise to the victim (the Ryan Kelly touched on that). Criminals often foolishly project their intentions and which can create plenty of opportunity to access defensive tools.
I also call bullshit about the jujitsu instructors claim that 95% of fights end up on the ground, but I’d tell people that too if I taught ground fighting for a living.
I’ve never been to a self defense class for women, but I’ve spoken to a number of girls who have and many of them have unrealistic expectations as to what their new karate moves will do for them.
That all said If I was a 100 pound chick I wouldn’t depend on grappling and some spicy sauce to keep me from getting raped/murdered/brutalized.
Ahh yes, derrick comedy.
Famous for Bro Rape.
Do you know if the crimes on campus have been a result of the administration’s removal of students from PSAG?
What if he has a pointy stick?
