@calliandra Hi! I've been doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu for ten years and only recently started reading about how feminism and self-defense work together. I bought three books on a reading list I made. Hopefully I'll work my way through. This book or pamphlet looks pretty cool. I'm going to take a look.

@calliandra
The book i read so far, Real Knockouts, by Martha McCaughey, does a great job detailing what goes into a self defense course besides the technique. The ones i typically see only focus on technique & don't address trauma many women have, among other things. If i were going to make a course, I'd have to study up on those existing ones. But bjj has so much, esp in confidence, taking up space, changing our relationship to violence (which usu. only men are allowed) I❤it lol.
