I am sad to hear you are a girl. It absolutely enrages me to here about how a group of men was about to rape you. I want to kill them.

I am so glad you were not harmed. The best solution is always to run away if possiable. Mace if a very good idea. Fight dirty and fight to the death. It is the only way you can possiably escape.

Gosh damned rapists. They need to have their balls cut off. I swear if i ever defend a girl against a rapists, I'll break his arms and legs at the very least. Prehaps take his miserable little life. (I said prehaps because my god demands mercy from me.)

finally. TKD is the worst possiable thing you can learn about self defense. A girl kicking is a patheic sight to see and is utterly useless against most males. I am only saying this because, i dont want you to get hurt in a confrontation. Put everything you learn to the test. Find a guy (dad, friend) have them don on protective clothing and have them pretend to attack you. The techniques that work and those that dont will come out very quickly. I seen very very talented girls who are fast and had good from in kicking. Their strategy in fighting however was pathetic. THey would have gotten thier ass handed to them. My former sensai daughter was about to be raped, she successfully defended her self with punches initially then after moving a little further delivered a groin kick. This gave her time to run away. Had she tryied to do any other kick, I would be willing to bet, she would have been raped.

take care of yourself and always know your surroundings.

SOG,

I guess I was lucky to have to opportunity to spar Olypians and National Champions in this sport. Of course I sparred not as skilled people in our own school and local competitions. But what do you expect the whole world to fight at this level.

TKD is an amateur sport so they do a lot to make sure there is no permentant damage done to participants. Not to say it is safe, I have my fair share of broken toes and fingers.

Once you reach this level you get a whole new perspective of when you need to fight on the streets. At this level 99% of the world is not ready to get into a physical confrontation with you. You pick your fights based on how skilled you think your opponent is. If he's a chump, you should walk away because it's an empty victory.

2 years after the frat boy incident. There was another incident that I'm not really proud of. I was entering a MickyD and a HS kid call me a chink in front of his friend. I snapped, didn't say a word and began beating him up. His friends scattered like roaches when the lights go on in the kitchen. His girlfriend pulled out a cell phone and I took it out of her hand then snapped it in two. Her boyfriend unconscious on the floor, I stared her in the eye and said "You best teach your boyfriend some manners or he's not going to see graduation." You could tell she was scared to death as snot and tears were welling out of her face. She said, "You *sshole, he's only 16." I pushed down to her boyfriend. I left the MickeyD and found lunch somewhere else.

Reflecting on that situation I think that was the second dumbest thing I did in my life and wonder if I created the next white supremist skin head.

SPRNZ,

You're better off to take all the conditioning and run. Let me recount fight between guys and girls on the US Olympic team.

I was at the Olymic training center once and observed a new member of the male team brag that no girl could ever beat him. A three time gold medalist female of the TKD team took him on. She was in a 2 weight classes above him. She was almost 6 inches taller and 4 inch reach advantage. The guy say it wasn't fair asked the girl in his weight division to spar him at the same time. All three suit up.

The girls are in opposite corners and the guy is in the middle. He faces the 3 time gold medalist. The signal is given. He starts in a close stance left foot forward. He burst into the "ice kick," which is what the Olymic team calls a front foot side kick followed by a hopping ax kick with rear leg in one motion. But instead of an ax kick he does an outside-in creasent kick and grazes her nose. He lands facing the other way and begins running towards the other girl. The 3 time gold medalist just began to flich backwards.

He face the other girl in close stance right foot front. Then switch quickly to an open stance. 45 degree right roundhouse to the hogu (chest protector). 2nd girl is winded.

Turns and back to the 3 time gold medalist. Open stance right leg forward. Right front side kick, follow by left spin kick over her head. He looks like a ballerina because his body is amost parallel to the floor with his right leg planted in her stomach as his left leg is fully extended and sweeps over her head.

She flinches a fraction of a second too late.

Cocky SOB bows out of the match and says "Thanks, its a draw."

I'm just trying to illustrate if you meet any guys of equal level they will over power you. If you have a propensity to wear heels and dresses on the street, it will also be a hinderance.
