roommate looking for punch dagger

What I recommend is, stand sideways to an aggressor, kick him in the shin -- don't try some telegraphed, slow, high kick -- and then leave the area. Screaming is good if it attracts help, bad if it makes the punk think he's scared you. *shrug*

Can't teach my sister anything. She throws one punch and they don't bother her anymore. Weight training instead of martial arts. And attitude, attitude, attitude.
 
TomW...

Thats kind of a good point. If someone plans on pulling the knife and believing that the bad guy will run away..Your scenario just might play out. On the other hand, my wife is 6' 125. And can hold her own. she has alot of reach and a pretty confident air. Near downtown Dallas once, a homeless guy was watching her get gas in her car and he started making "ohhh Baby" sounds...she shot him a look that could freeze salt water and yelled at him to "Get the 'ef away from me" According to her, he looked kinda Skeered and got the 'ef away from her. If her life or the lives of the kids were in danger, do I think she would cut someone? Yup. Shoot them...yup again...And if nothing else were available, bit, beat, elbow, knee and maul? Yup. Mindset, confidence and in her case, imposing stature all play in.
