Any of you girls have it in your physical eduacation program? I am currently taking it and have to get ready for my mock attack ( I think thats what they're calling it) where a male teacher comes and attacks us and we have to defend ourselves, YIKES lol. It is actually quite an interesting and informing class. If any of you don't have it, I would suggest it to one of your teachers. You learn a lot not only on self defense but on rape and such too.

Our school has swing and salsa dancing as our "special" units....self-defense isn't really brought up because it would bring up gender litigations and such.Besides, most girls are more interested in clothes, make up, guys, etc.
BUT! At out beloved local YMCA class has martial arts and that's pretty useful in doing bone-crunching, muscle straining take-downs.

Yeah, I didn't get to choose because I am a sophmore taking junior/senior phys ed. When we went to pick our units for the year sophmores get to pick last. I wanted rock climbing but self defense is pretty cool although it is all girls. But thats okay because in the end we get attacked by a very nice looking gym teacher :naughty: . Haha but we learn a lot. No boys care really, usually there are three units going on, one coed one boys one girls or along those lines.
But we do have some pretty cool units for phys ed so no one really complains. Our school is very Phys edish if you can call it that. They (the teachers) claim we are what other schools look at for ideas and such but I don't think anyone buys into that but we do have units like rock climbing, kyacking, canoeing, XC skiing, roller blading and much more.
But back on topic, self defense is actually very informing for someone who has never takin it before, most girls do earlier in my school, but we learn lots of techniques to get guys off of us, how to notice different sittuations which could be harmful and what to do in them.
