THROAT! THROAT!
GUTS! GUTS!
NUTS! NUTS!
Anyone listening to this chant from outside the walls of our little training room would've backed down in fear of being attacked by Amazons. In actuality it was just us Rimu girls going over the weak spots of a person for our self defense course.
Girls' self defense is a course run by, as far as I know, a woman named Ellie. Or at least that was what we called her. This was a place where we learned how to fend off attackers or deal with freaky situations. Most of these scenarios involved male creeps who were off to inappropriately approach a young girl and most ended with telling another person about it which is extremely important.
It turns out there are many ways to make sure you don't get kidnapped or attacked but keep in mind it's not for mindlessly beating up others but for defense. By defense I don't mean that if your mother happens to be asking you to do something you scream back in anger.
Something to do is to yell instead of scream and really loudly too to throw the attacker off. It's also a good idea to collect DNA for identification purposes and to fall them. No matter how gory it is, if it keeps you safe and gets him away then it works.
The main things we learnt were about punches and kicks like a hammer punch where you drive the bottom of your fist (Thumbs on the outside and against your fingers) into the attacker's nose.
All and all it was a great experience and I hope people know not to mess with us now!
Still though…I feel like I just spoke about fight club ;_; WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
