THE BATTALION
Ladies Are Going For Judo
Those 62 women who signed
up for the Texas A&M Judo
Club’s new self-defense class are
highly motivated to the point it
hurts, reports Capt. Gibbs Dibrell,
chief instructor.
“I was pretty bruised and sore
after the first sessions,” laments
the Air Force officer who holds
a coveted black belt in judo. He
said the women, whose ranks in
clude single girls and married
women ranging in age from 17
to 53, simply don’t know the
proper means for protecting the
person they are throwing.
Capt. Dibrell is really not sore
about being a little battered. He’s
actually delighted with the turn
out—double what the club ex
pected — and rather philosophical
about the physical plight of he
and his fellow instructors.
“It’s unfortunate,” he observed,
“that they have to hurt us in
the learning process.”
Now that the initial aches are
going away, Dibrell is already
thinking in terms of an advanced
class for the women this fall. To
become really proficient in self-
defense, he explains, a person
needs about 16 lessons. The be
ginners course is eight lessons.
Dibrell is slightly bewildered
by the widespread interest in the
course. While there have been
no incidents around the univer
sity, he feels women are generally
alarmed about what’s going on in
many of the larger cities through
out the nation.
“Women have in the back of
their minds,” he reasons, “that
self-defense is a good thing to
know.”
A side-effect of the large turn
out for the womens course has
been increased male interest in
the club’s regular judo classes.
“The husbands apparently want
an equal footing in this self-
defense business, Dibrell declares.
Getting back to the women’s
side of the program, the A&M
graduate math student can’t say
enough glowing things about the
ladies’ enthusiasm.
“They’ll throw us as fast as
we are willing to stand up and
let them,” he notes.
Fortunately for the instructors,
the curriculum will soon progress
beyond the throwing stage and
get down to what Dibrell con
siders the most important part
of the course: the use of common-
sense techniques to avoid getting
into a situation where a woman
must defend herself at close quar
ters.
“The last thing we want them
to do is confront an assailant in
a hand-to-hand situation,” Dibrell
stresses. “We want them to keep
their cool and attempt to talk
their assailants out of an attack.”
