Tiger Moms

Aren't all Moms, Tiger Moms?

A tiger will fight to the death to protect her cubs. So will all Moms. I know mine would have. I do not know one who wouldn't. I never worried when my kids were small, because they were with their tiger mom. My wife, their mother did not know judo; she did not know karate; she didn't carry as knife; she didn't carry a gun. She did not know the formal techniques of self-defense, but if the need arose, she would defend her family to the death.
Knowing how to defend one's self, whether with your hands, knives, guns or whatever, is fun, it builds confidence, and it is a pretty good way to stay in shape without thinking you are exercising. Thomas Edison is credited with saying that invention is 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration. Col. Jeff Cooper would have and probably did say that self-defense is 90% mental and 10% physical.
