Fighting Back: Taekwondo for Women explains how a woman can protect herself from sexual harassment, assault and rape with taekwondo techniques. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and modern day sport with a rich heritage rooted in more than 3,500 years of tradition. The work is the first of its kind in that it offers practical solutions to not only what constitutes sexual harassment and other forms of assault, but what can be done to prevent and protect against them.
This book emphasizes the positive mental/attitudinal changes that result from practice in the artistic side of taekwondo, by practice of "forms," meditation and visualization techniques. This work also delves into the physical improvement that results from regular training and offers several useful pointers to warming up, stretching, and overall fitness. It shows how women can live freer, happier lifestyles by emancipating themselves from the psychological constraints which the fear of violent crime imposes. The book is endorsed by The United States Taekwondo Union, The World Taekwondo Federation and the International Olympic Committee.
