      I agree with you good effort, but it doesn’t work in real life. Men who attack women it is always from behind ( because these men like to make sure that this woman is alone before launching the attack) and we all know that surprise gives 80% the upper hand on a battle or an attack or war.
      Surprise is the key for any attack.

[8] All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it : the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

    Guys keep this in mind
    It's better to know something than to know nothing. I'm sure some will say
    "That won't work", "That's not realistic", "She'll be killed in a real attack".
    That's why it's called a demonstration. And I'm sure you all know that an important part of martial arts training is conditioning. A strong body makes strong offense and defense. I get it combat sports such as MMA, Boxing, wrestling, and BJJ has shown what works and what doesn't work......against a highly skilled opponent who knows who they're fighting. Real violence is chaotic, unpredictable, and traumatic. And the ones committing the violence have little to no training. And at the end of the day I would rather know some form of martial arts that would give me a chance to survive a violent encounter.
