I would never make fun of you. You stood up to the abuse, maybe not soon enough, but still did. Good for you. May you never see it again.
I’m just saying self defense only works when you want to defend yourself. And when you want to defend yourself, no class is necessary.
As for me, I figured I was gonna get hurt real bad, so why not go down fighting? (If I’m gonna get hurt anyway, why not try and get one in?) It came down to nothing to lose. That’s what these classes need to teach, because it is the reality.
Self defense must stress the FACT that your gonna get hurt, sweetie....so quit fearing the hurt and hurt your attacker any way you can.
