I value non-verbal methods of teaching and relating over verbal means, especially these days. I suspect a lot of people don’t know what “the next step is” because of the ways in which they inhabit their bodies, which is in a mode of withdrawn paralysis. Martha McCaughey’s Physical Feminism seems to go part of the way to alleviate this mindset. It’s still not enough, because people turn the full contact self defence itself into a ritual and a fetish. This implies that they still expect their transformation to be done to them as relatively passive objects. The point is to break down this inner need for approval and carry the acquired momentum through into all aspects of one’s life.
