Wim Demeere Podcast

Here's the next podcast episode, #32: Self-defense tips for young women. This will be a controversial one for some listeners, I'm well aware of it. But I believe it is more important to be as truthful as I can be than cater to popular belief that I know to be harmful. If it isn't for you, then I can only shrug and move on. Nobody forces you to listen to my stuff anyway, right? If it is for you, There is also a 45min. bonus episode to accompany this one over on Patreon.

This episode is late again for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that I have been travelling. That said, I think you'll like it as it answers a question I get asked all the time: how do I choose a self-defense class or instructor?

In this episode, I list numerous aspects you should take into consideration before making such a choice. The list isn't complete, but it certainly helps you avoid the biggest problems.

Enjoy!

Whatever martial art or self-defense system you train in, eventually you are faced with injuries. Either you suffer one or you have to help somebody else. In a street-fight or a self-defense situation, you or a friend or loved one can get seriously injured too. What do you do then? What should you do before the ambulance arrives or before you can get to a hospital?

In this episode, paramedic Doug Wittrock covers the most common injuries that result from physical violence and explains the best practices on how to handle them.

Enjoy!
