[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say until your child has some heft, it's pretty useless. I am an adult. I can pick up my 14 yr old with one arm and throw her. She can kick me between the legs, but I can block her, and she's not that strong. I think the best self-defense is [b]raising boys to not rape [/b]and to teach girls to stay safe (not walking alone, no short-cuts, stay in a group, don't get drunk, don't drink from an abandoned drink). FWIW, my coworker (law firm) is a black belt and her dad teaches karate for a living. We've talked about self-defense and she says try to claw the eyes out. Not scratch, but literally rip the eyeballs out of their sockets. [/quote] I agree and have been discussing with my son regularly over the years. But after reading the police report/articles about the Rockville HS rape case, it is obvious that some people are not raising their boys this way. And so we need to empower our girls.[/quote]
