Agreed.
I have been able to do a little practicing with that kind of stuff with my husband instructing.. He has taught me how to throw a pretty mean punch.
But I'll never be disillusioned as to what I can and cannot do physically. I may be able to bite, kick, eye-gouge, and everything else, (and YES, I'll do it all to get away), but I'd much rather have SOMETHING to help.
The classes I want to take are as follows (but not necessarily in this order):
1. Defensive Knife
2. Intermediate Handgun
3. Hand-to-Hand
4. Advanced Handgun...
And so on and so on.
I may not always have a gun. I may not always have a knife... but dog-gonnit, I'll always have my hands.... and my fingernails!
There's a good knife right there!
