...another really good thread related to the rape subject - this one focusing more on what some women might actually be trying to find in the martial arts - a way to fight back - and whether or not the reality of that is attainable.

From that same post, the Uechi Eye strike seems to be effective: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote

When doing some light knife sparring with a rubber knife, the tip slid under his goggles and tapped one eyeball---not even that hard. His knees involuntarily buckled and he went down like a sack of bricks, instinctively covering his eye with his hands. He said he had no idea an eye jab could be that effective until he experienced it himself.

That stuff may be alright for a grown woman on the street, but what about a young sub-teen girl? How can she battle, say, her step-father? How can she fight back?

Stepfather or blood father, if he's trying to do something like that, he deserves whatever he gets.
