Vulnerable UK Muslim Women Go Ninja

one of the main things i think women would get out of taking a course like this, is self-confidence.
i've found that many men simply cannot imagine what it is like to be a woman and how much less freedom you have than men. even sometimes when i was walking in the desert and some jeep came down the dirt road, i was always a little afraid and relieved when it passed. most women i know have had some negative experience with men.
one of the rewards of getting older, is that you become somewhat invisible! (of course musims have a degree of this even when young) but even then, it is never really safe to be in certain places. (i realize that it isn't for men either, but women are in more danger and more restricted).
if you live in an area where there are enough muslims, i would call around and see if you can find a woman instructor who would be willing to hold classes for women only. (actually, i think a lot of non-muslims would be happier in women-only classes too). and then one day some ninja muslimah can set up a business doing this.

Bless!! :D

InshaAllah, but I hope it's before I need a hip replacement ;D

Good idea Snake Legs! Ad advert in the local paper would be ideal. Though, I'm not sure mosques would have any idea where to begin. Let's see what happens inshaAllah. :statisfie

I have a black belt in taekwondo, but I don't think it will help at all. I know the moves, but I'm too weak to be able to do any damage!!:exhausted

Seriously, if I punch my brothers they just laugh at me. :X

Unless of course I kick them in the head (or *other* places) but that isn't easy to do considering I wear skirts most of the time.

Anyone else have the same dilemma? :phew
 
Assalamu Alaikum

I took tae kwon do classes too with my brother. So I got to practice on him... but to be 100% honest, there are some techniques I might use, but overall my first instinct would be to use my own method of fighting...I wouldn't have time to think of the many ways I could get out of the situation. And as we all know, if the dude has a gun, you're pretty much screwed unless you can somehow get the gun out of his hands. If he doesn't have a gun and you are able to hurt him though, then take a few steps back, throw your heels, say bismillah, and hope the darn thing will strike him in the eyes and run yourself down the street screaming "FIRE!!" 'cause apparently that word works better with people than screaming "HELP!!"

If all else fails, recite the shahada.

Besides, what happened to reciting the du'as before leaving your house and not leaving your house without a mahrem? Ah, being replaced by self defense classes.

I thought we don't have to take a mahram with us unless we are going long distances?:? A bit hard to take my mahrams with me to uni lol.:hiding:
 
Assalamu Alaikum

You walk to uni?? I dunno, I can't relate, my bro and I go to the same school by car and the only time I go out is if I'm with my parents or something. If I walked, its a short distance so I'm pretty safe in my neighborhood either way.

I would think if any place is dangerous to the point where you would have to take self-defense classes its probably best to be with a group of girls or with a mahrem when you go out.
