Women kick around self-defense
Staff Writer
By RODNEY HOFFMAN
Students who want to do more than scream to protect themselves may learn self-defense techniques at private martial arts classes. Students who wish to enroll in physical education classes.
The Women's Coalition began a course yesterday designed to teach the "simplest, most effective techniques of self-defense," according to instructor Ann Francie.
Approximately 80 women, mostly KU students, have signed up for the course, she
Francie said she thought women were concerned about protecting themselves.
"Although last year there was more widespread alarm because of rapes on campus," she said, "there is a growing acceptance of women using their bodies to protect themselves and not feeling they're useless."
During the introductory session, Francke taught the women to protect themselves with their hands and feet by punching, stabbing and kicking. She said the techniques were taken from several martial arts including karate and jujitsu.
Other measures involved the use of prazosin, which is used in the throat, which are very vulnerable.
Francie said she also encouraged women to carry whistles and tear gas "because no martial arts academy will say that you'll be able to take on everyone in the streets."
The remainder of the course will emphasize form and implementation of the basic techniques, she said, in addition to learning throws and releases from holds.
Jackie Schmidt, assistant instructor of physical education, teaches one section of a course in women's self-defense. About 50 students attend the two sections of the class this semester.
Schmidt said she thought most people who enrolled in the class weren't concerned only with how much money she made.
She said one of the important elements in women's self-defense was surprise.
"For this reason, we teach that anyone
to do it. Strength is not a factor." she said.
Schmidt said the course was designed to teach women to throw larger people offbalance or escape from holds and defend themselves with any equipment they might
have available, such as a purse or umbrella.
One of the most important products of the
world is
One of the most important products of the course may be self-confidence, she said.
"I believe the courses are effective
to teach the person not to panic," Schmidt said.
Kathy Hoggard, director of the University information center, said women's self-defense courses were meaningful because she is a psychological advantage to the woman.
"It the likelihood of being assaulted in slim," she said, "but what's important is that I want to be seen."
Max Fuller, founder of the KU Karate Club and now head instructor at the Gouju Ryu Martial Arts Academy in downtown San Francisco. Also offers courses in women's self-defense.
Fuller said the emphasis in his course was on realistic situations. The course includes sessions on gun-and-knife defense and on defense in a sitting or prone position.
"We teach things that they'll remember the rest of their lives," he said. "The news is a big part of life."
Contempt of court possible for KU grad
A 1975 University of Kansas graduate may be charged with contempt of court if she doesn't keep an appointment today with a Great Bend, Kan., psychiatrist.
The student, Pam Fanshiher, a member of the Unification Church, was released Sept. 23 from confinement in a hospital by an order of Frederick Wolesigel, Barton District Court judge. She was committed there by her parents two weeks ago.
However, Woleslaegl stipulated that Fanshier must undergo psychiatric examination and that she couldn't leave the state or come within 15 miles of Lawrence or Manhattan until the examination was completed.
The church, which has headquarters in New York, is headed by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and has branches in Lawrence and Changwon. The Lawrence branch is at 700 Ohio St.
Lawyers for Fansher petitioned Woleslagal on Wednesday to delay the Sept. 23 court order. That order allows the Kansas Supreme Court, if it accepts the case, decide whether Woleslagal's order is unconstitutional. Fansher's lawyer is unconstitutional.
Wolesleng refused to rule on the petition because five days is required between the

Woleslag said he would hear Fanshier's attorneys on Monday.
Last week, when rumors began to circulate that Fanshider wouldn't show up for the examination, Woleslager indicated a contempt of court citation could result. Woleslager couldn't be reached for comment yesterday.
prevent her from undergoing the examination when they learned that the examination could take up to five weeks to complete.
"She couldn't be away from her home and friends that long." Bob Feldt, an attorney for the law firm, said.
Fanshier's attorneys began the move to
Feldt said he and his colleagues had thought the examination, to be conducted by Carlos Ruiz, a Great Bend psychiatrist, would take only about 10 days.
