Episode 41 is one for the ages...a realistic view of women’s self defense.

Too often women’s self-defense resembles a bad episode of the Oprah Winfrey show. It ignores the fact that women’s psychology is the first thing that has to be trained...everything else is secondary.

Based on a question from a student, Matt talks about the true nature of women’s self-defense.

On this episode Matt discusses:

– The structure of a women’s self defense class
– The number one rule of all women’s training...and why you can never break it.
– The brutal reality of women’s self-defense psychology.
– How not to cheat your students, male or female, in teaching technique...
– How you are teaching wrong, right, and how to fix it...
