Seven Year Bitch drummer Valerie Agnew tried to talk this out with other friends, and discovered they, too, felt both fears and conflicts. "We were all like Mia, we were all streetwise. But if it happened to her, it could happen to us."
One thought came back over and over to them: "If she knew how to throw a punch, would she be here?"
We must be thankful for all the self-defense classes that are being offered today in gyms and community centers around the country. As a result of taking these classes, we are able to defend ourselves in a variety of situations, and we can quickly disable our attacker so that we can escape. These classes help us to develop more confidence in ourselves and our surroundings, and we are better prepared for the unexpected at any time.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing to know "how to throw a punch" because this action can save our lives. Maybe Mia would still be here if she knew "how to throw a punch."
