Did you know that HOMICIDE was the leading cause of pregnancy-associated deaths in Massachusetts from 1990 to 1999 according to a 2002 study in the Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association? Or that 57% of pregnant women who died of trauma in Chicago from 1986 to 1989 were murdered according to Chicago’s Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

I wanted to know how I could motivate women to take a self defense course, so I decided to ask them. The following reasons come from my fitness clients and visitors to my booth at a local health fair:

Top Reasons on Why I Need to Take W.O.W.’s Self Defense Class

3. I need a back up plan for rejection
4. Anger Management didn’t work for me
5. My significant other needs an attitude adjustment
6. My family reunion is coming up
7. The Do Not Call list isn’t working & I can’t take any more telemarketing calls
8. My boss had another brainstorm
9. My desk chair is getting too small
10. I don’t need a reason to yell, just name the place
