What’re your thoughts on women knowing how to defend themselves?

Do you think all women should take the time to be trained on how to defend themselves and their families? I have extensive weapon training as well as hand to hand military combat training. I know how to effectively kill someone by hand in less than 5 seconds.

I don’t want to use this training unless absolutely necessary but I take comfort in knowing when faced with a man much bigger than me, I can defend myself and my children. What measures have you taken to strengthen yourself or do you just not worry about it? No judgement either way. I’m just curious as to if there are other women out there who know how to effectively defend themselves.
