Nice one Lori!
I rather do the gross thing than become a victim.
Defenses with the use of an elbow is a very effective one and a must especially if your smaller than the attacker.

Hi Hilary,
Frequent visualization is the key to keep them fresh in your mind.

There are so many martial arts to choose from, so go with an instructor you instinctively trust. Also, ask lots of questions.

Hi Barbara,
Yes, gross doesn’t much matter in life and death situations!

Hi Lori .. once I’ve moved and settled again .. I thought I might do a martial arts course .. gentle one?! So I’ll need to come back and check through the various ideas .. the nose job – has sunk in!

Thanks .. these are such helpful guides .. and who knows how we’d each react .. but with your ideas in our heads, then we’d be somewhere on the way .. and with some courses behind us .. even better … the fitter we are – the better able we can care for ourselves out in the big bad world .. baddies breed on the weak – sadly.

Great – have a good week .. Hilary

Hi Lori,

Thank you for these. The eye gouge sounds pretty gross, but if we’re in danger, I’m sure “gross” is the last thing we’d be thinking about.
