‘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

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,

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.”
