Susie explains how you can use smaller size to your advantage and what she saw in a self defense class in Los Angeles that gave her this insight. Kate wonders why more people don't learn self defense, and Susie talks about believing whether it will really work or not. If you think learning self defense is futile because you are too old, too big, too small, too weak or too restricted, this episode is for you.
