Book excerpt: The surprising roots of the self-defense movement and the history of women’s empowerment. At the turn of the twentieth century, women famously organized to demand greater social and political freedoms like gaining the right to vote. However, few realize that the Progressive Era also witnessed the birth of the women’s self-defense movement. It is nearly impossible in today’s day and age to imagine a world without the concept of women’s self defense. Some women were inspired to take up boxing and jiu-jitsu for very personal reasons that ranged from protecting themselves from attacks by strangers on the street to rejecting gendered notions about feminine weakness and empowering themselves as their own protectors. Women’s training in self defense was both a reflection of and a response to the broader cultural issues of the time, including the women’s rights movement and the campaign for the vote. Perhaps more importantly, the discussion surrounding women’s self-defense revealed powerful myths about the source of violence against women and opened up conversations about the less visible violence that many women faced in their own homes. Through self-defense training, women debunked patriarchal myths about inherent feminine weakness, creating a new image of women as powerful and self-reliant. Whether or not women consciously pursued self-defense for these reasons, their actions embodied feminist politics. Although their individual motivations may have varied, their collective action echoed through the twentieth century, demanding emancipation from the constrictions that prevented women from exercising their full rights as citizens and human beings. This book is a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to one of the most important women’s issues of all time. This book will provoke good debate and offer distinct responses and solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is changing every day. It's not the relaxed, safe place we once knew. These days, it is wise to understand your surroundings, have better awareness and be able to defend yourself if needed. Those who say, "It always happens to someone else, never me!" may regret those words if and when a tragedy strikes. Having the confidence to face our new culture is important for a happy and healthy life.The book includes: • Effective self-defense techniques explained in simple terms • Easy to follow pictures to help you practice at home • Practical tips that can keep you out of trouble • Identification of vital targets and pressure points to maximize effectiveness.Master Mike Andrus has learned and developed effective techniques from many years of training in multiple styles of martial arts. For this book he has selected the most effective practical self-defense techniques for women to use against an attacker who may be bigger and stronger.His book, seminars and workshops teach self-defense for individuals and their families. The training includes practical techniques designed to properly defend against attackers in a home or car invasion and other scenarios related to real-world violence. His street-proven self-defense techniques also include awareness drills and tips to keep you out of trouble.The concept of "staying in the moment" came about from his research of how women generally respond to danger events and why. By understanding the reactions, Mr. Mike was able to design his program to educate women and help them change the way they respond to external encounters. The result is that by using his principles, women are more confident and more aware of their surroundings and can respond properly by "staying in the moment" to resolve the conflict. The training involves some meditation, awareness drills, education, self-defense and "the element of surprise" techniques, as well as discussion about applying what you learn. Being able to apply what you learn is KEY! The results have been amazing. We are finding that these principles and techniques can be used successfully in every area of life. The result could be the difference between life and death! What is interesting is that “staying in the moment” is not always about conflict resolution.By doing things with intent you can change the moment, the rest of your day, or the rest of your life!

Book excerpt: An examination of women's self-defense culture and its relationship to feminism. I was once a frightened feminist. So begins Martha McCaughey's odyssey into the dynamic world of women's self- defense, a culture which transforms women involved with it and which has equally profound implications for feminist theory and activism. Unprecedented numbers of American women are learning how to knock out, maim, even kill men who assault them. Sales of mace and pepper spray have skyrocketed. Some 14 million women own handguns. From behind the scenes at gun ranges, martial arts dojos, fitness centers offering Cardio Combat, and in padded attacker courses like Model Mugging, Real Knockouts demonstrates how self-defense trains women out of the femininity that makes them easy targets for men's abuse. And yet much feminist thought, like the broader American culture, seems deeply ambivalent about women's embrace of violence, even in self-defense. Investigating the connection between feminist theory and women physically fighting back, McCaughey found self-defense culture to embody, literally, a new brand of feminism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radicals, feminists, environmentalists. Activists for animal rights, human rights, civil rights. There are plenty of rebels and dissidents putting their asses on the line. Conversely, there's never been a shortage of reactionaries seeking to repress such vision and passion. Learning how to fight and/or defend yourself is not the same as promoting belligerent, anti-social behavior. While talk of non-violence is understandable and the struggle for peace has never been more essential, let's face it: The odds are that sooner or later you're going to end up in a confrontation that may escalate into physical violence. So, why not be prepared? Self-Defense for Radicals will get you off and running in the right direction. From eye gouges to groin punches - you'll find a powerful collection of tactics with which we can fight back. Interspersed with words of wisdom and guidance from Emma Goldman, Bruce Lee, Angela Davis, and even Patrick Swayze, this pocket-sized pamphlet will inspire readers to not only speak truth to power but also deliver a sharp elbow to power's jutting jaw.

Book excerpt: A brilliant study of violent self-defense in the struggle for liberation by an award-winning philosopher Is violent self-defense ethical? In the history of colonialism, racism, sexism, capitalism, there has long been a dividing line between bodies "worthy of defending" and those who have been disarmed and rendered defenseless. In 1685, for example, France's infamous "Code Noir" forbade slaves from carrying weapons, under penalty of the whip. In nineteenth-century Algeria, the colonial state outlawed the use of arms by Algerians, but granted French settlers the right to bear arms. Today, some lives are seen to be worth so little that Black teenagers can be shot in the back for appearing "threatening" while their killers are understood, by the state, to be justified. That those subject to the most violence have been forcibly made defenseless raises, for any movement of liberation, the question of using violence in the interest of self-defense. Here, philosopher Elsa Dorlin looks across the global history of the left - from slave revolts to the knitting women of the French Revolution and British suffragists' training in ju-jitsu, from the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to the Black Panther Party, from queer neighborhood patrols to Black Lives Matter, to trace the politics, philosophy, and ethics of self defense. In this history she finds a "martial ethics of the self": a practice in which violent self defense is the only means for the oppressed to ensure survival and to build a liveable future. In this sparkling and provocative book, drawing on theorists from Thomas Hobbes to Fred Hampton, Frantz Fanon to Judith Butler, Michel Foucault to June Jordan, Dorlin has reworked the very idea of modern governance and political subjectivity. Translated from the French by Kieran Aarons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Defense of Ourselves is a book that will make women feel safer on the streets or when home alone. As a practical guide to help women cope with, and hopefully avoid, attack of any sort, this book deals with emotional readiness (how to overcome feeling helpless or being polite when someone makes an unwelcome advance) as well as the physical ability to defend ourselves. For example, the authors cover voice and body stance, and they provide physical exercises (with step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs) that you can do to be prepared for any attacker. But nowhere does this book say that you have to fight back or react in a specific way in every case - it simply gives you the knowledge and confidence to evaluate each situation and respond intelligently."--Back cover.
