Self-defense situations which involve you with an unarmed, single male assailant, using these tactics against you in a standing position, are obviously all delicate situations in which an improper response by you may bring serious injury to you or perhaps the loss of your life.

Women highly trained in karate technique, though few, are able to face situations like these with a high degree of confidence, yet the difference between the highly trained female karate expert and you, an average woman, is great. The situations and the appropriate responses thereto shown in this chapter have been specially selected for the average woman and cover the necessary principles to deal successfully with common eventualities connected with unarmed single-assailant attacks in standing positions.

Practice all the responses with a partner. During your initial practices, begin slowly and gradually increase the speed of the "attack" and your response. Seek to build automatic responses. If you will practice a few minutes a day, several days a week, this development will be greatly aided.
