Self defense classes are a horrible waste of time for women. If you spend 5 minutes a week for 3 years training, a man who has even trained for 1 month will overpower you.

Keep on going to that self defense class. Your Sarah McLaughlin commercial funded school of self defense might help you in a street fight with another woman. But in the instance that you are attacked by a man, you’re fucked no matter what. 5 minutes of training every week for 3 years won’t help you take down a 170lb man. If anything, it will give you a false sense of security. Spend your time in something else.
