Black Parenting : Teaching Self-Defense to Our Kids

[info-moetry]

Walk away but if the person attacks, self defense is a must.
What martial arts does she practice? I'd recommend Judo or BJJ. These are very effective martial arts and it teaches how to actually submit somebody without necessarily harming them. Judo is more for men though while BJJ is ideal for the weaker sex and people generally physically not very strong. I've seen a woman flying arm bar a huge guy and made him cry like a baby while he tapped.

For a girl I wouldn't recommend boxing, karate and the likes. Wrestling is also good.

'the weaker sex'?

Please explain in a martial arts context. I've seen teenage females bring grown men to their knees in extreme pain causing them to tap out.....

Your post, really doesn't make much sense other
than to stroke your own ego as usual.

You for sure are not a martial artist.

I am no martial artist even though Kung Fu Theater was one of my favorite things ever growing up, but I teach my kids sense, not "common sense", but just good sense. Which is also known as awareness. It has worked for me this long and it should work for them, for the most part. Sometimes there are situations that you cannot control, stave off, or handle even with THE BEST (physical or mental) training. That is just a fact of life. I try to instill in my children to try to keep steady in an intense situation and react with the sense I have taught them through the years to certain situations and hope my message resonates and keep them well.

I taught all my kids how to defend themselves. I also told them to do everything possible to avoid a physical confrontation. I am confident that they can handle most physical confrontations if they have to.
