Most attacks against women initiate from his use of his weight to subdue, not just outright striking. Men generally attack other males differently from how they attack females, due to the size advantage. Interestingly, I developed a passion for watching UFC fights because it reinforces what I've learned and I pick up knowledge about other martial arts along the way!

Krav Maga is a highly effective form of training for women as well as men. It translates to contact combat and teaches the fundamentals of realistic defense tactics. In my research to find the best martial art for my needs, I found Krav Maga to be appealing because it doesn't matter what size you are or how strong. Knowledge, preparation and practice are the most important things. I took a self-defense course at the Jewish Community Center in UTC.
