Training in martial arts and self defense (and a lot of other sports) rarely takes into consideration women's physiology, specifically: breasts. This episode talks about how to train -- and how to adapt training for -- people with breasts, and people without.
Topics covered in this episode are:
Training in sports bras
Training without a bra
People who are new to boobs
Working with people with masectomies
How to manage students who sexualize breasts
How to work with your students to ensure safe and adaptive training
Avoiding training with women because of their breasts, never talking about it, doesn’t resolve the situation; in fact, it not only makes it worse for the person aroused, but it also denies the person with breasts balanced training opportunities and a safe space to train in… and sometimes even blames them for it.
