Peg Kerr's Journal

You probably won't feel completely safe again, but don't underestimate your power. You will always be alert to the possibility of someone too close to you. You have also been taught valuable defensive skills in karate regardless of the lack of gun defense. Part of the value of karate is in having that element of surprise on your side. An attacker won't expect a woman of your age to be able to strike back defensively. Remember...go for the groin!
