| | Muggle Studies Lesson 1 - Self Defense
Antonio opened up the Muggle Studies Classroom and began to prepare the room for the lesson he was about to teach. He took out a supply of textbooks and placed them on the table for each student to pick up - Types of Martial Arts then returned to the front of the classroom, waiting for the students to arrive. He hoped they would find this an interesting and beneficial lesson, there was going to be something special of interest to all young witches and wizards at the end of it, and it should prove to be a fun and enlightening day for all concerned. Even he was excited about this! |

Jordan raised her hand, "They might use weapons, or even just pure physical self defense or they might get aid from another muggle" She said with a smile.

Elan spouted off. "Some use weapons, which shoot bullets, some become skilled with blades and others ask for or pay for protection from people who can do those things. Additionally, they can take classes in self-defense which teach vulnerable points in hand to hand fighting."

"One of the most common ways for them to defend themselves is by learning martial arts, also known as karate," she said. "These classes teach muggles many, many strategies to use to not only become more powerful, but to also be able to defend themselves."

She raised her hand again and said, “There are all types of Martial Arts classes they can take.”

| Vanessa the Snot Girl l Rachels Rule | rock,tumble,&roll ❆ adorable coffee bean Vannie thought for a moment before raising her hand again. "There are certain classes that muggles can attend such as Karate and Kung fu which allows muggles to learn safe defensive methods which will allow them to defend there selves if it is necessary. These methods are also quite effective to learn as it can give confidence to the muggles"

Lucas raised his hand. "They can learn to be nicer to each other and get along better. They can learn things about each other and be diplomatic so that they don't get upset with each other. So that it won't become a fight." He said.

| Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door "There's the usual kick and eye jab, Sir." Evangeline said with a tiny smile. The girls in the movies always did that. "Apart from that, you can learn self defense techniques, either armed or unarmed. There's alot of people that take classes of combat and martial arts for that purpose." |

Chad silently walked into the Muggle studies Classroom, he looked around at all the students and felt nervous. He had been at this school for a little while now. And yet he still hadn't really made freinds, well he had made freinds, Kaika and Natka so far... Strange how so far all his freinds had a K in their name.
Hm. That was a rather odd start, atleast it was a start.
Chad grabbed a seat next tyo the window and nodded to Professor Dumont, he looked down at the Textbook on his desk and read the title. Martial Arts.
Chad listened to the Teacher and then raised his hand and said, "Kicking and Jabbing, Sir?" He stated,

Nancy was quite happy that she actually gained some points for Slytherin. Grinning she listened to the professor's next question which let her face fall again. How was she to know that?! Looking around in search for an answer she suddenly spotted the textbook and started flipping through the pages, an exhausted expression on her face.
Listening to the her classmates' responses her expression changed to confused. Kung Fu? That kind of sounded like something to eat. What were they talking about?

"Muggles really really like their weapons," Gwen said. "There's a huge amount of different weapons that Muggles develop and unfortunately sometimes use. They can range in all different sizes, and be small enough to hurt one person or wipe out an entire country. It's their most popular mode of defense."

Karate, Kung Fu, and many other types of Martial Arts can subsequently and significantly increase their physical power," Tanjiro answered.

If you're being attacked, you can also spray pepper spray at somebody, but I'm not sure if that's legal. And if you go into extremes, you can use weapons as well, and to protect yourself wear bullet free clotes.."

"They can take martial arts classes they can take, that also teach them how to defend themselves. Such as Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Korean, and Brazilian martail arts." said Allie. There are also some other self-defence classes that I know of, my mom once, took a self-defence class for women at the community center. They told you what to do if someone attacked you, and stuff like that.

"Err, Professor, they learn, um..." She looked at the book again. "Martial arts. There are many different ones, like Chinese or Japanese or Brazilian.
She listened in amazement as the other students added more ways in which Muggles defended themselves. This was so very new to her. She had never heard of most of it and listened in growing confusion.

"Well can't they learn Karate? They can also excercise, because excercise helps you become fit. Some ways they can defend themselves is to punch, kick, bite, and other stuff."Jenn said.

| ♥ Touch Lass! | MOON OF MY LIFE | Lemon's Winner | Inside Kitty Evolette listened to all the answers, and they were all the same, weapons and know how. She raised her hand, "But, if the person in question has no weapon, or fancy kung fu moves, they have to simply use what they do have and utilize their surroundings to their advantage." She shrugged, "That or carry pepper spray and run." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: *whistle* | NeeNee Omniscient Omnipotent Pie Maker "Many Muggle women's groups advocate the buddy system," ventured Tobi, with his hand raised. He remember his mother telling his sisters how she had taken one in her youth. "It's not particularly effective against a violent tactic like swarming, where there are many assailants vs. the victim or victims, but it's still an effective deterrent. A simple general self-defence course, where one learns the basics, like a strong posture, to not appear an easy target."

Lizzie heard the class answer the questions, why was she always so slow on answering?? With a wide smile she thought of what her elder brother, John, had taught her. She raised her hand. "If you're a muggle and a boy's being mean to you, you can just kick him between his legs. That hurts really much for him, and you'll have time to run away." This was the advice John gave her, since he truly cared for her and didn't want her to get hurt or used. She felt a bit sad at the thought of him, she really missed him a lot. But her mind got back to the lesson. "Isn't that true professor? That's the easiest way for a girl who isn't as strong as the boy to defend herself, or at least get a chance to run away."

"Again, you are all right on top of things," Antonio smiled. What I was looking for specifically was the martial arts, as this an excellent way in which muggles may defend themselves from attack. Now, I would ask each of you to refer to your textbooks from this point on, as they are going to prove useful with the answers for the remaining questions I will be asking. Can anyone tell me what the five main countries are whicn are instrumental in different types of martial arts?"
