Tae-kwon-do master and J. Lee Tae Kwon Do System architect Master Lee hosts this instructional video, in which he teaches women the fundamentals of self-defense necessary to guard against attack. Lee utilizes a realistic, practical approach (highlighted by specific illustrations of what might occur at the hands of assailant(s)) and discusses confrontation from physical and psychological perspectives. He also details the risks associated with each individual defense tactic, by breaking the body down into three areas with different risk levels. Covered techniques, which are explained and illustrated on camera, include strikes, twists, throws, escapes and kicks; Lee also discusses the best way to trick and outwit an attacker much larger that oneself, with such techniques as unexpected twisting releases and escape moves.
