‘Wen- Do ses its for women

“Wen-Do" in Japanese
means "Women's Way.” This
is the name of a new style of
martial art that, unlike judo
and karate; has been de-
veloped specifically for wom-
en. This means that, instead
of trying to match lesser
strength against greater
strength, you learn how to

_ recognize and evaluate the
dang ofasituation and how
to resy ond appropriately. .

If the situation is once of
danger, you are taught to
move in quickly, attack once’
or twice with disabling tech-
niques (break a kneecap or
the bones of the foot), and
then flee. The element of
surprise is judged to be a
woman's best weapon and
when you are confronted by
an attacker, there's no .per-
centage in letting him get in
the first blow.

Wen-Do also teaches “soft
techniques” that are useful
when physical force or res-
traints are being put upon
you by someone you don’t
necessarily want to injure
(the obnoxious drunk at.a
party). You can learn to
quietly but efficently deal
with these kinds of annoy-
ances.

Two Wen-Do workshops
were held in Trail recently by
Gaye Ferguson, an instructor
from Vancouver and a former
resident of Trail. Topics such
as’ women and the law,
avoidance techniques, ag-
gression, assertiveness, rape
and verbal defence were an
important part of the course.

¢ In the physical part of the-

class, the instructor demon-

. strated and initiated practice’

in blocks and counter attacks.
‘Those participating practiced
eee blows to cushions

_ Broy.”

held by partners “and apply-
ing and escaping from dif--
ferent “attack holds.” The
course shows ‘that most
street attackers search for
someone who looks like “easy
Therefore the first |
defense you are-tazght is to”
not look vulnerable, to walle
with your head up and a firm
step. :

Sometimes the self- conti.
dence that comes from know-
ing how to protect yourself is
enough to turn off a would-
be-attacker. However, wom-
en are taught that if the sit-
uation is- likely to include
physical violence; once they
are committed they must at-~
tack with 100 per cent effort.
‘You may likely only get one
chance, and a broken knee to
your. attacker may be just
what is needed to get out of a
life-threatening situation.

At the end of the course in
Trail, each of the 18 women
participating. was, able to
_break a one inch by 12-inch
board with one blow of her

hand. To deliver more-force, .

yet remain out of grabbing
distance, foot blows are ad-
visable. Statistics in Canada

are now moving from one out «

of four women becoming rape
victims at some time in their
life to one out of three women
becoming victims. . Women
should make the effort to
learn how tg protect them-
selves,

Gaye Ferguson will be re- ©

offer another course in Wen-

Do instruction in Castlegar, | fj

on Feb. 7 and.8. For infor-
mation call 365-3778. Regis-
tration deadline is Feb. 5.
The course is available for
women of any age, young and
old. :

Columnist gets
hunters riled

After spending two hours

slogging through the snow-~

covered hills of West Vir-
ginia, Chicago Tribune ¢ol-
umnist Bob Greene modified
his view of hunters, whom he
had denounced as “sl i
the “sickest of the sick.
Greene, whose. column’ is,
syndicated in 158 newspa-
pers created a furore when

he wrote recently that, “un-1".,
like other. sports, hunting,
takes little agility, no phy- -

sical conditioning... any

‘slob with a gut full of booze

can gointo the woods and... .
stand a good chance. of
making a kill.”

- In response, managing ed-
itor Sam Hindman of the
Charleston Daily Mail invited
Greene to West Virginia for a
day of grouse hunting.

Greene accepted and with
four others took fo the hills of
rural West Virgiiiia carrying
an unloaded shotgun,

Greene said he learned
that .there’s plenty * “of ex-
ercise «involved: in hunting.
And,’ he: said, "I. realized
e.ece that when you think
about,a group of people in
theory, and then see them up
‘close, your feelings aredikely
to change.”
