Title: NO to Storaka
Review: Storaka book and his methods are based on women using their "feminine wiles" on the attacker and that women should never try and fight back because women are too weak and too incompetent. After one of his lectures, enthusiastic young woman was breathless explaining why a woman shouldn't kick, because she would lift her leg and JUST FALL OVER. (If you can walk, you can learn to kick properly.)Women would be better served by taking an actual all women self-defense class TAUGHT_BY_A_WOMAN. Where you can freely discuss issues you would not feel comfortable bringing up in a mixed group. Contact the National Women's Martial Arts Federation (www.nwmaf.org). They can direct you to the closest class in your area. Also read about survival strategies that worked, Stopping Rape: Successful Survival Strategies by Pauline Bart, a pioneer in the field who "discovered" the targeting/testing/attack sequence.
