All women live
with a certain level of risk of violent crime. Statistics show that
a woman now 21 years old has a 1 in 4 chance of experiencing a
violent crime in her lifetime.

Shelters
and other programs offer much information on personal security
matters, ranging from what to pack in an "emergency
get-away bag" to how to go into hiding. That is good and
useful information, because it is always better to avoid a
violent attack than to try to survive one. But hiding doesn't
always work, and someone else can't be there to protect you
every minute of the day and night.
Sometimes, violence comes despite the best possible avoidance
measures, and when it does, there is often no opportunity to
summon help. In these cases, women are forced to face their
attackers alone, only their own resources and knowledge to
survive. Fortunately, women who are properly trained and
confident in their ability to protect themselves can do so
quite effectively.

"Fighting
Back" is a difficult and uncomfortable subject for many
women to think about, but it does not have to be that way. The
concept is easy to understand and was expressed eloquently in
the article "Teaching my Daughter to Fight" by
Margaret Dean Daiss in MS magazine:
"Maybe,
I reason, if more girls - the next generation of women - learn
to defend themselves physically, harming their attackers
instead of walking away or crying, then maybe, just maybe,
they could begin to turn the tide of abuse from themselves and
their sisters. Maybe if boys and men knew that they could be
seriously hurt if they lifted their hands or opened their
pants against the opposite sex, their abuse could be kept at
bay."
So why should you care about Self Defense?
You should care because:
- If you are a woman, you are a target for certain kinds of
criminals.
- The best self-protection for most crimes is prevention.
- If prevention fails, your best chance is to fight back.
But
you must know HOW to fight back.

Avoidance
of danger is your first moral responsibility. But when you
find yourself in a dangerous situation you could not avoid,
defending yourself is absolutely the most moral and ethical
course of action. It is also the most effective!
Is it better to fight back or not?
It's
virtually always better to fight back, particularly if you are
trained in how to fight back appropriately. Women who fight
back are injured less often, are more successful in stopping
the attack, regardless of what kind of attack it is, and feel
better about themselves afterwards.
I could never fight back!
People who have never been in a situation where they
wanted to fight often think that they couldn't fight, but you
will find, if you are faced with a life or death situation,
that it is very easy to fight. But you need to know how to
fight back in order for that instinct to be effective. Getting
training of that type is what Emerald Tyger Academy can
provide and assist you in overcoming that emotional resistance
to fighting.
What can I learn in a few hours or days?
A tremendous amount. It is not necessary to take years of
training in order to become an effective fighter or in order
to develop a personal protection plan that works for you. In a
couple of hours or a few days (and practice), you can become
proficient in a number of different techniques and learn
something about how to apply them.
