So, I found a Groupon-like deal for self-defense classes and asked a friend if she would be interested in taking it with me. She said she is a believer in "creative non-violence" or "acting passively to avoid harm," so she isn't interested.
I have never heard of this before and frankly I kind of think it is crap. Of course I get non-violence in the context of the civil rights movement, etc., but individual self-defense???
Not to say I'm for kicking the crap out of someone unnecessarily, but I feel if someone is trying to harm/kill/rape/abduct me, etc., avoiding injury to them shouldn't exactly be my top priority at that very moment.
