Several weeks ago, I attended a self-defense class. Our instructor stood in the middle of the room to demonstrate poses for cautious contact. We were shown how to position our torso, how to hold our hands. The stance was meant to help us easily switch into a squatting position where we could use the power of our legs to fight off perpetrators. “Where are women not very strong?” the instructor asked us. “Our upper bodies,” one woman offered. “And where does our strength lie?” Our legs, we all answered unanimously.
