If you're a woman, what motivates you to train?
If you're a man, what motivates your girlfriend, wife, female friend, etc. to train?
My girlfriend is a great athlete with a realistic attitude about self defense and athletic training. She knows it's important and she knows that there are no magic short cuts. We have trained together a bit, and she says she'd like to do more, but we live in different cities right now and we don't like to use all the time we see each other just for fighting/self-defense training. She has a very busy schedule, and just doesn't seem motivated to seek training somewhere else. Part of that is just a comfort thing, I know, and I certainly don't want to put pressure on her to do something she doesn't feel like doing. I guess I'm just curious to see what motivates other women to train. I know some have suffered physical assault...others have a strong fear of such assault...others simply got into the training and loved it. Just wondering if you all have any insight on this. Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Jeff
