My mom took a self-defense course when I was a teen and she was so excited about the training that I pretended like the throws and techniques were working when she asked to try them on me

I felt like I couldn't ruin her self confidence even though I could have destroyed her even at 14

Until her trainer was sentenced to 7 years for SA

The only thing worse than not being prepared is a false sense of security

And the only way to go even lower is giving that responsibility to children
