Oh, I'm changing the industry, all right. Ten years from now there won't be many instructors who haven't changed their classes as a result of the things I'm learning and doing today (edited to add, I'm hardly the only one learning those things and helping drive those changes! ).

But those changes will be part of a natural evolution, not something jammed down people's throats from the outside. And in the meanwhile, I'm reaching people where they are right now, which means I am not part of the culture that has written women off as unwilling to learn and unable to develop a good self defense mindset. Perhaps some of those people will make the decision to save their own lives as a result.
