    Do you know what martial art is better for a petite woman? about 1.58m? Great lens by the way.

    Hi there, and thanks for your kind words!
    Regarding a suitable martial art. I would absolutely try to find an art which is heavily leaned towards, or primarily focuses on, self-defense: jujutsu (ju jitsu), hapkido, (some styles of) kenpo, jeet kune do, kali (escrima, arnis) eller silat (penjak silat).
    You may also do styles like karate and taekwondo, as long as they have trainings or seminars which incorporates the grappling and self-defense elements.

    The respectable victim mentality exists for virtually every accident. If you get paralized in an accident while you were in a car, its a tragedy, if the same happens while you were riding a motorbike, its a tragedy but you probably should not have been riding a motorbike.

    Thanks for putting up this lens. I gave you five. I'm also into making self defense related lenses. It's a good use of time. I wish you all the best.

    Well done! As the father of a teenage daughter the ugliness of these attacks are always at the forefront of my thoughts.

    Have to disagree about aikido as self-defense though. Far, far too complicated, "artsy" and long-winded. Superb martial art though - very nice.
    It's origin (aikijutsu, which is basically jujutsu) is much better suited as self-defense - if you train it properly.
    Those who do train aikido as self-defense has seemingly gone back to the roots, and it is almost text-book aikijutsu. It's a completely different "beast" all together.

    I think one of the best self defense martial arts for women is Aikido. It requires no strength or size, in fact one of the better sensei's in the world is a short, 66 year old lady from japan, and she can kick guys asses 5 times the size of her. nice lens:)
