"Any girl or women, despite of size and physical capability, has the right to defend herself. You should not have to train for years in the Martial Arts in order to feel safe. "I have been a physician for many years, I treat many girls and young women, as part of their regular yearly visits I incorporate an age appropriate discussion about self-awareness, safety, self-defense and rape. I have treated girls that have been victims of assault at different levels, and I feel most of these situations can be prevented with proper education. "I feel I am in a situation where it is my RESPONSIBILITY to transmit the best knowledge possible in the most efficient manner to the families I have the honor to treat in my Medical practice as well as in my Martial Arts School."
