Very good advice and information, thanks for posting it. I'm not sure I agree with the specific pressure points because unless you train a lot it's hard to get the right spot when you're panicked and your target is moving violently. I absolutely agree with the keys - umbrellas or asps are great because they create distance and reach, something already working against most women. Pistols and tasers work really well as well depending on the area you're in. Seriously, if your state allows concealed permits I don't know why a women who was fearful of being attacked might not have one in her purse, someone comes at you, point the gun up and shoot and then threaten them to stay back. Gunshots draw police everytime. You don't even have to be good at aiming

I'd be happy to have you
