I was talking to a man who has taught martial arts for something like 20 years. His opinion was that these limited-time self defense courses are of little value when a small woman is attacked by a 200 lb. man, for instance.
Some 200 lb men are probably out of shape and wimpy. A 200 lb man can't handle a frontal knee slam any better than a 145 lb man or any other for that matter. It is also in knowing about pressure points that if punched well enough could render an attacker unconscious. I love my kubaton! I don't care that it's illegal. An elementary pencil (fat one) would make a really good kubaton and that would be legal!
