CLASSROOM NOTES What Does One Size Fits All Mean in My Class?
It means that the way that a woman or a girl learns to destroy a man takes on a more practical approach: one size big or small is the right size when it comes to an attacker being defeated. Why?
Because women and girls in all of martial arts are taught and trained to hit the man where he is not. Just like the martial arts rule that you always hit the enemy where they are not. What does that statement mean? Think about it for a moment. Hit the enemy where they are not? It means that when an enemy of yours is confronting you, might be thinking about protecting at least his groin and his face. However, when he is attacking a woman he has sex on his mind and he is not thinking defensively at all. He is not thinking about protecting himself like he would another man.
One size fits all thinking means exactly that, however big or small the attacker is he is just the right size; it also means that the student is also just the right size too. My students are trained to understand, that whatever size attackers come in, they have psychological weaknesses that they don’t know that they have. They don’t know, they don’t know.
Here are a couple of examples to think about. If the woman is short and stocky, her center of gravity is going to be lower than most of the attackers who step up to make an attack. As a result, she will be harder to move because she makes a good thing better by dropping her hips down into a low stance that not only affords her even better balance, but it also means that she has been trained to take advantage of the attacker’s ignorance about this important fact. She also knows that the shorter distance she keeps her kicks and punches from her body the more powerful those kicks and punches will be.
If a woman is long, tall and slender she knows that she can always drop her hips down to gain the advantage over her attacker, but she has the long levers, which is her arms and legs, that can really wallop her attacker with out a whole lot of effort. If she wants to hurt him she knows how to punch and kick while she is cutting off access to her vital organs. She punches and blocks all at the same time, which is the Wing Chun Kung-Fu way that I teach. As I teach my students, whatever shape, size or weight they are, well trained martial arts students have an advantage. What you just finished reading is a martial arts secret plain and simple. It is framing the mindset of the student to see whatever they have is as an advantage, no matter what anyone else thinks. Now, when you start to think of yourself as a natural born fighter, what does that do to your self-confidence, and to your self-image? I tell you what it does, because I know for a fact that kind of thinking changes lives, changes beliefs, changes the course of a student’s life direction, and all in a very short time.
One size fits all, in my class is another way of saying whatever you brought to the party, it was plenty and I will show you how to get the most out of it. Remember, we don’t compete with one another, women fighting women is never the objective, we fight men from outside of the dojo because in real life, outside the classroom, its going to be men who do the attacking. So preparation is always about learning to hurt the attacker and have no second thoughts about it.
This means my students are trained to understand and believe that when they become comfortable with defending themselves against male attackers they will find their fear that controlled them from so long ago is now gone forever.
Every one of my students is taught to strike the smallest and least defended parts of the man’s body, first last and always. The targets that they hit are the ones that are the ones that are the easiest to hurt and cripple the attacker. They are taught that once they strike those targets, they are to strike those exact same spots again and again. They are not taught to strike and then back off, they are not taught to strike and then evaluate the damage they have done from a safe distance. Instead, they are taught to show no mercy for the man who was intent on raping and murdering them. They are taught to strike repeatedly with no thought to the damage they are doing and certainly no sympathy for the pain their attacker is experiencing at that very moment. They are taught to evaluate only after the attacker is completely rendered harmless to her and flat on his back.
One size fits all means that my students know that his belief in his superiority over her is limited to just two words, he’s bigger. They know too, that him being bigger works very well to her advantage, because the idea of being in a defensive posture or defensive state of mind just won’t happen for him. Her having that belief and insight about the way that her attacker thinks is critical to understanding his strategy for his own self-defense.
Insight in a street self-defense situation is very important because it is information that the martial arts student is in possession of and the attacker is not aware of what she knows about him. In this case, because he is male and bigger and because he has been sold a “bill of goods” (utter nonsense) by the patriarchy. His mistake is just one of the “Ten Mistakes Men Make”. The mistake he made is: Know Your Enemy, he does not know who he is dealing with. Because she is a woman, he lumps her together with every other woman he has raped or known in the past and assumes she is just like all the rest of them. The Rule of War says: “Know Your Enemy”, not assume or guess you know your enemy. Can you understand that in a street fight that is a huge distinction? An attacker who does not at the same time, defend and attack like any beginner martial artist learns to do is heading for a bad outcome and quickly.
Can you really understand that martial arts are far better thought out than from the outside looking in than you can imagine? Well, good news, because it is. Too many people now long dead have done their dead level best to improve upon what they were taught so as to pass forward to their students what they have learned. Do you fully realize that there is no other thing like martial arts on the planet that does what it does for the average woman or girl? Not only can thousands upon thousands of people and their wonderful and safe life prove this statement to be true, but also you can easily learn it as you go through your day. This training system, of mine is a system that teaches women and girls how to effectively make war upon their attacker I am offering you have been improved upon by me for the last 50 years. I know for a fact that you can, with enough dedication and practice, master what I am teaching you. Once you have mastered the lessons, you will begin to know what I have known on an everyday basis, and that those things I mastered are now a part of my life and after 50 plus years it is my reality.
When I say one size fits all, I mean that big or small they will all make the same mistake about you and not ever know they are just putting themselves into a place of great vulnerability and danger and don’t even come close to knowing what you know. Big or small, you can learn to take them all. This is your time to become dangerous to those men who would rape and kill you. And you will still be just as feminine as you were before you started on this journey. Believe me when I tell you this: take the time to look up female martial artists when you have the time and read what they say about their life since they became martial artists.
