Kelvin EkereteFormer Nigerian taekwondo champion, Anita Aluya, says taking part in combat sports can help girls in defending themselves against rapists. Aluya, who currently runs a taekwondo academy in Lagos, believes that having a knowledge of martial arts will give girls a better chance of fighting the menace globally. “I will advise every girl to take up martial arts.

What you should do after hitting the vital spot is to run away from that vicinity.
