A group of ladies gathered at Fort Canning Park to learn martial arts. Ladies need to know how to protect themselves when attacked.

Lady instructor showing her deadly moves... don't mess with her. :P

    This is a fun theme, I'm beginning to enjoy it. With interpretations like this that are so in the mark, people can entertain us with their posts.

    I really like yours. I didn't think about this.

    Hey, I remember you had attended this some time ago. I should try to learn self-defence soon. Most of the time, I am usually travelling on my own.

    Is there any short self-defence course that you would recommend?

    Very cool idea -- not just your photo choice but also self-defense classes for women.

    learning self defense is good, not only to be able to protect ourselves when the need arise (but hopefully not), it is good exercise and a way to socialise with other like minded people.

    Learning martial arts for protection is good not only for ladies but also for men. of course, nowadays, once the criminals start taking out the gun, you can forget about your martial art skills! LOL!

    Oh, having martial arts skills is good when we go on solo travel : )

    Thanks Photo Cache.

    I had planned to take pictures of me bashing my guys after the martial arts session, but the guys won't co-operate. :D

    No guy wants to be beaten by a girl.

    Dwacon,
    It's very difficult to buy a gun in Singapore. Possession of a gun can get one charged.

    oceanskies,
    Yes, I attended this a few months back. Vincent Ng was one of the instructors.

    I can give you Vincent's martial arts school if you want to learn.

    gengen,
    I cannot imagine myself taking up karate. I would be thrown all the time. :D

    At my age, I would learn Tai Chi. :)

    Julie,
    The moves are not so difficult and it's amazing what they can do to your assailants. It's a useful course.

    Self-defence is important to any man or woman. At least I learnt some basics. I don't wish to put them to use though. :)

    foongpc,
    In Singapore, it is not easy for people or any crook to get hold of a gun.

    I can't say that about some other countries. Having some knowledge of self-defense definitely helps when travelling solo!
