Women's Self Defense and Other Myths came about because Taika Seiyu Oyata was all about giving back to the community. We frequently did FREE seminars to the public on basic Self-Defense. These ranged typically from 2-4 hours and on a rare occasion we might get 6 out of a group. Being in Law Enforcement for many years as well as Shihan Mike Waddell, and with Taika Seiyu Oyata teaching to police and communities since the 1950's, it was our belief that far too often, the wrong things are taught in these classes. Far too much emphasis is placed on complicated techniques as well as things that simply do not work like groin and eye attacks. Pain Compliance is a fallacy you should not bet your life on. All of these techniques are based on a simple concept and simple overlapping principles. It makes this course easy to remember and valuable when the target audience may not be as diligent at practicing as someone attending regular classes.
