A few moons back, like around the time I was born and before, fathers taught sons how to defend themselves. This usually involved some rudimentary boxing lessons, or fast strike "finishers", as my old man used to refer to them.
Sometimes the teacher was an uncle, or maybe a friend of the old man's, but nevertheless you got the training. My old man's theory was to be a brawler. Fighters, or schoolyard bullies, didn't like brawlers because there was no predicting what they would do.
I must admit I'm not much of a fighter, but I'm a helluva brawler. Brawling was a big benefit in the scuffles I have been in over the years. The unpredictabilty of what I was going to do unnerved many of my opponents in my younger days, and they really liked to steer clear of me after an encounter.
I don't scuffle hardly at all anymore, but it's something every man should go through.
Now that puts me squarely at odds with the folks who want to raise "Girlymen," as Ahn Nold referred to a few years back. As much as he was criticized for using the term, it is still appropriate.
Today in schools boys are being turned into Ken dolls. Their hair is always in place, their clothes are never dirty or torn,
the have no scrapes or abrasions, and they are getting doughy and soft.The universities reinforce this feminization, and then women wonder why men are so immature.
It's because they are trying to take the testoserone out of the boys by instilling ideas in them that run contrary to nature.
And then, when a woman wants to settle down and get married, she wants a protector, not some freaking wimp that is a surrender monkey.
I've got a friend that is helping people defend themselves everyday, and you can do yourself a favor by going to his website, and checking out what he calls "tools."
And if you're a freaking wimp, it's doubly important. You need to get yourself an equalizer, or several, and carry them around so you won't fall victim to the first mook to come down the pike.

And it isn't just men that need a little something extra. Half of the Big Kahuna's client's are women, who know what it feels like to be alone and vulnerable.
But once they are tooled up, it's a different story altogether. If you're a mook and meet up with one of Kahuna's Kommandoes, you are guaranteed to get a taste of hell.
Which is what you deserve for putting your greasy maws where they don't belong.
Take my advice, and get yourself an equalizer. Or several.
Just remember this. One in every seven people will be the victim of a violent crime in their lifetime.
There's no reason it has to be you.
