Women Learn Self-Defense
By BECKY PIVONKA Kansan Staff Writer
What would you do if you were walking down a dark street late at night and you were accosted by a stranger? Fourteen girls are learning just what to do in such situations, the women's self-defense class.
The class is taught by Terry Carnegie, a former black-belt karate expert. The self-defense class costs $20 for the semester and includes an op-portunity to learn.
The emphasis in the class is to get the person to remain composed and relaxed in any confrontation.
Rees gave an example. A girl who had taken the course was hitchhiking to her residence hall and asked Rees to give her a ride. When they arrived at the hall the man started molesting her. Because of his size she was unable to use any kind of toilet, so he gave free. However she kept her cool and told the man that he had some defense techniques to show him. When he sat back to see them she jumped out of the
"THEME ARE some situations that aren't as serious as others and if one tries to resist too much aggression, you are likely to aggression." Rees said. "So in
general we try to show techniques that look like they're giving minimal resistance."
In the class Rees shows the girls the basic situations they could get into and how to get out of them.
"There are techniques for each situation," Rees said. "You just need to know the rules for the kicking and striking and in the regular karate class I am taught."
Rees said he encouraged the girls in the self-defense class to get into the karate class. "The self-defenses is not as disciplined as it is in sports, nor as not as much execution. The emphasis is primarily in composeure."
In the class the students go through drills to help them explain what they see. There are two basic situations that one could get into that would make the situation more difficult.
FIRST THERE is the hand-
grab, when someone grabs the
hand and keeps cool and remem-
ber the basic techniques for getting out of
the kitchen.
The second situation involves kicking and striking. In this situation you have to execute the techniques, and execute them well.
a loud yell called a 'ki-va.'
There are four reasons for the ki-ya. "The primary reason is to scare the opponent for a second turn." The same applies and get in a good kick or a strike.
The second is that the shout comes from the diaphragm and helps to give you more focus. The third is that the body to help give more power.
THE WIND can't be knocked out of a tense person easily. Also if people are fighting they often get too tense and the loud yell helps to clear their minds so they can speak properly. Rees said the proper techniques.
The instep, groin, shin solar
plexus, ribs, and head from
the pit of the throat up are
pressure that can be attacked. Rees said
"We try to make the class as interesting and as much fun as possible." Rees said. "Otherwise children are many of the things they've learned."
The reasons that the girls take the class varied.
"I took the class so I wouldn't have to carry mace or tear gas," said Mary Ellen Hesse, Wichita sohomore.
"it's interesting, it's good exercise and it's a lot of fun," said Ann Homburger, Wichita sophomore.
