Cynthia Rothrock teaches self-defence

There have been many times when I wished I knew a modicum of self-defence either at a Black Friday sale or the opening of a new IKEA store. Now I can put that right so I thought I would share this 1-hour instructional video with none other than the Lady Dragon herself, Cynthia Rothrock.

She holds 5 black belts in various Far Eastern martial disciplines, which include: Tang Soo Do (Korean), Tae Kwon Do (Korean), Eagle Claw (Chinese), Wu Shu (contemporary Chinese), and Northern Shaolin (classical Chinese). With all that I think I’m in safe hands.

Here Cynthia Rothrock teaches self-defence techniques in this video from 1985, which also features George Chung.
