This is, and always has been, my point. There is always something you can do.

People make claims that they cannot fight. That simply isn't true. What Whitwabit said is true, there are plenty of people who can't afford to raise their heart beat or stress level on a regular basis. Even so, that doesn't mean they are completely helpless.

What it does mean, is that they need to learn alternate means of defense. Laying on your back and kicking could be one such method. Since I don't know what ailments everyone reading this has, I can't suggest methodologies. It would take too long. But, you can find a self-defense instructor in your area and work with them. Any self-defense instructor worth their salt should be able to guide you in alternate methods.
