Assailant Defense
I don’t
need a class, I’m
tough as hell.
Why should I
bother?
We hear this a lot.
It’s easy to fall into a “magic
thinking” feeling around scary issues
like assault. Violence is frightening.
We only wish we were as powerful as all
that and could actually conjure up the Gods,
because believe me, if we could we’d
be using our powers for lots of other stuff.
I
don’t
want to conjure
violence into my
life, and I am
sure if I take
this class, I will
get jumped.
In
actual fact, one
in four people
will be assaulted
in their lifetime,
and studies show
that by taking
an Assailant Defense
class, the odds
jump to 1 in 30.
Studies also show
that “avoiders” are
often the most
frequently targeted
victims of perpetrators
of violent crimes.
