I’m Learning to Fight Like Girl
I’ve been writing a lot over the past two years about protecting our children from sexual abuse. But it’s just as crucial that we women learn to protect ourselves. According to the New York Times, 1 in 5 American women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes, and far higher numbers suffer from other forms or physical and emotional abuse and harrassment.
B”H, yesterday I fulfilled a dream I’ve had for a while now… I began an intense 25-hour IMPACT women’s self-defense at El HaLev in Jerusalem. Watch this video (from an IMPACT course in Washington) to see some of the crazy punching and kicking I was up to yesterday…
You can see the El Halev Israeli IMPACT team on youtube!

Enjoy your course and all the power to you!

Very good for you! So sad though that women have to be so prepared for possible assault. Thanks for the share – we should all do this.
