When hearing the words combat sport, many start visualizing bruises and broken noses. They are a lot of prejudices and especially as a woman, one often encounters comments like : ''What ! You are practising martial arts ?! But this is not meant for women !''
Strangely, this comment also comes from women themselves, which being the ''weak'' gender should have every reason in the world to learn how to defend themselves. After this argument, one often encounters counterarguments like : ''One makes it only worse by defending oneself !'' or ''What can I do against a man anyway ?!''
