Because it can.  Unfortunately us people don&#8217;t seem to have the inborn ability to defend ourselves, we need to learn it.  What amazes me is how many people have never taken a self-defense class or course in the martial arts.   While I understand the Martial Arts are not for everyone, I do not understand the reason not to take a self-defense class.  What is the worst that could happen?  You might just learn something that will save your life one day.  So take a lesson from the Horse, sig up for a self-defense class today.
