Physical conduct should be used as a last resort, however in dangerous situations it should be used. Knowing self defense could mean life or death for some people.
Along with learning how to protect themselves students can also learn self awareness, Spatial awareness, and help students detect dangerous situations early before anything happens. Self defense can also improve self-confidence and physical fitness. Studies show that teaching students self defense actually reduces physical Disputes in school.
In many cases when young adults are in danger they panic however part of knowing and learning self defense is keeping calm and bing able to see thing level headed. With over about six different styles of common and practical self defense and more then 170 styles of martial arts this being there are many different opportunities for schools to teach different styles.
With most styles of self defense you do not have to worry about being stronger then your opponent. When learning self defense you are taught how to use your opponents body weight and momentum against them.
Teaching self defense in school could be beneficial in many ways. I personally thing that we should make a P.E class for a form of self defense. For thoses who want to take part of learning self defense.
Should we have a self defense class in school?
Do you know self defense, if so what kind of it?

I think that there should not be a self-defense class taught in school. Teaching young kids in Taekwondo, and taking part in Jiu-Jitsu, I think that these classes would work better as a school class. Many people have a self-defense/Martial Arts based job such as teaching, this school class could take away someone's job.
In actual classes they do a lot more then just self defense. In actual classes such as taekwondo or jiu-jitsu they have different levels, only teachers past that level can teach them. If anything this could creat a higher demand for these jobs because kids will be interested in learing more after the cass in school.
