女权主义自卫课程教授预防和应对暴力的技能。然而，自卫训练对妇女的生活有许多其他积极的影响，这些影响本身可能会降低妇女遭受攻击的风险。在这篇文章中，作者提供了证据，这些影响来自自我防卫训练的纵向研究。除了在潜在的危险情况下增加信心，自卫学生报告说，与陌生人，熟人和亲密的人进行更舒适的互动;对自己的身体有更积极的感觉;增加自信;改变对女性，男性和性别的信念。作者认为，自卫课程改变了生活，因为它们解决了女性生活中的三个核心问题：对性侵犯的恐惧，自我和性别。
Feminist self-defense classes teach skills for preventing and responding to violence. However, self-defense training has many other positive effects on women's lives-effects that themselves may reduce women's risk of assault. In this article the author offers evidence of these effects drawn from a longitudinal study of self-defense training. In addition to increased confidence in potentially dangerous situations, self-defense students reported more comfortable interactions with strangers, acquaintances, and intimates; more positive feelings about their bodies; increased self-confidence; and transformed beliefs about women, men, and gender. The author suggests that self-defense classes are life transforming because they address three issues central to women's lives:fear of sexual assault, self, and gender.
