The style and philosphy of the martial art wing chun is most appropriate to mention at this point. Legend of its history is that is was developed by a woman of small stature for the sole purpose of defeating a larger man. What I find most fascinating is the "ready position" or "fighting stance" is not typical. It is relaxed and calm and seems to draw ones opponent into a false sense of security. This is of course part of the effectiveness. The initial "moves" in the martial art are as were mentioned in an earlier post... attacks to the eyes, throat and genitals... the center line if you will.
