oh Gosh … Shez in that second Panel with the muscles and stuff is doing things to me. Get you a girl that shows you how to kick nuts properly!!!
(Also, Jaden’s expression with the crack xD LOVE IT!)
Always makes me happy to hear that LB has become part of readers’ routines 🥰🥰 I know I myself get excited every Sunday too!
The waterballoon bit was all me 🤣 I’ve watched quite a few different videos that offered varying advice, but a common theme was “aiming straight up” between the legs – often using dummies similar to the one I drew. Making it more visual with the waterballoons seemed like a good way to measure if they were kicking hard enough – at the very least in the realms of fiction.
Plus I thought it would be more interesting for readers too, seeing again, a more visual representation of the force behind the knee strikes/kicks.
inaccurate, tiff (miss blue streaks) should be blushing WAY more as a stand-in for her creator, LOL.
loving scenes that encourage women towards moid obliteration, both the women in the class and the ladies reading 😌
I am not being sarcastic when I say I genuinely physically cringed at the sight of the balloon in between the dummy legs 😂, penis and testicles have always made me uncomfortable… I would love to pop said balloon 😈
Rusty back at it again with the sussy angles. Also, I wonder if balls really are as fragile as water balloons though. Like I feel like the skin and [instert male anatomy description] might be a little harder to crack? then again perhaps this is just the intro lesson.
I can feel the judgement in your eyes boring into me with that first sentence, Ms Clicker 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Visceral!
And yeah, this is their first nut kicking lesson, and they’re probably quite early into the course itself too. So I imagine it’s a matter of “get aim and strength down first” then moving onto refining the technique as the course progresses.
The balloon popping is less about 1:1 with the real deal, and much more about getting the students to visualise what they’re trying to achieve. “If you’ve popped it, you’re going hard enough to incapacitate” sort of thing.
And of course, this is fictional and not a replacement for an actual self-defence class. It’s entertainment first, total logic.. not even second 😅
I’m almost two whole days late to the party this time, but it’s because I passed by final exam yesterday!!! Now I’m having a nice day off and starting it with Leasebound, life couldn’t be better. <3
It's been said, but it bears repeating at least a dozen more times just how fine Shez is. Love her. Love that these classes are a thing for the women there. I've always been taught for ball-kicking to aim higher than you think, like kick straight up between the legs but aim for mid-stomach so you don't slow down and pull your kick, basically. But that's probably the same thought as never holding back. Haven't had the opportunity to test any of that out yet. ^^'
Congratulations on passing your exam! Hope you enjoy relaxing, sounds like you’ve earned it 🥰🥰
And yes, that’s essentially what Shez was trying to get across with the “never hold back”! Tbh glad you haven’t been put in a position where you had to defend yourself in this way ❤️

Googling how to paste Shez biceps onto my arms brb
Shez hitting with the foot or with the knee here?? 🤔
MS BLUE STREAKS IS BACK ON SCENE HELL YEAHH crossing fingers to see her more in future pages along P*ssy Granny
I’m probs seeing too mch into it but the male-coded dummies look like an inversion of those “female art” pieces and candles that have no face no legs and stuff. they always made me lowkey uncomfortable cause it looks like a corpse that has been hit with a machete yknow?? it feels odd when staring at that art.
The dummies here gave a similar dehumanized vibe though the balloons add a touch of humour. But at least for this setting it makes a bit more sense i think, cause if you humanize too much the abusive enemy you might second guess too much and not strike in the moment or strike too soft anyway dumb ramble over lmao thnx for the new page!
With her knee, much like she did when taking down Chris!
Think you’re gonna love the following page a lot, breastie 😘😘
Also yess!!! A lot of the training dummies I saw did have heads (this one was actually based on a spider man themed one LMAO!), and I removed his head to be like all the headless woman art I’ve been seeing.
I did play around with giving it more unrealistic proportions like often happens with all the headless female art, but it didn’t really fit as well given this is meant to be a practical piece of training equipment first and foremost.
But yes! Spot on, that’s exactly what I was going for by lopping his head off.
There’s definitely a beneficial loop of clients/patrons going on between the classes and the bar!
Some of the ladies in the class would have found it through the bar, and others who found the class first likely went on to discover the cool women’s-only bar.
And of course the biggest feeder to both businesses would be word of mouth.
I wanted to comment this for a while and I don’t know if you know or this not, but a lot of women’s self defence class don’t recommended going for a ball-kick(unless the assailant is already down) because it would require getting near an attacker where there is a strong chance they could overpower you, even if you hit them, adrenaline could cause have the opposite effect and make them more violent, this video explains it a lot better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i54grFI-JhA
Hmm, I’ve heard varying stances about the adrenlaline thing when in regarding nut-striking. The guy you linked never mentions nut striking in the video, nor adrenline or making a man angrier. All of which sounds like propaganda to sway women from not trying absolutely everything to get away. Toddlers can accidentally take grown men down with a hit that’s well aimed..
The guy in the video is discussing the reality of how much stronger men typically are than women, and how over complicated techniques that work in martial arts bouts aren’t going to work in a real fight. What to try instead.
I have actually used this guys’ videos as a reference for some of the holds I’ve shown before! I find them really informative and no-nonsense.
The point of the situations Shez is talking about also, are ones where the victim is already close to the attacker. It’s about a hard kick and RUNNING from a dangerous situation you didn’t instigate, with the hope that by the time he’a able to get up and be angry about it, youre already out of harms way.
It’s why she emphasized not holding back, and escape, not starting a fight.
I was more focused on the kicking aspect for narrative purposes, but you can assume Shez talks strategy for different types of kicks, angles, once they got confident in the kick itself. Plus, what to do when kicking ISN’T viable or the most accessible option. Keep in mind also that this is just one class in a multi-week course too.
She’s already discussing other strategies later in the comic.
In the end tho, this is a fictional comic. It isn’t a replacement for actual self defence classes taught by professionals. I’m not an expert, I’m writing a story, not a peer reviewed instructional manual.
Tbh a ball kick is super effective. Especially if a male attacker is up close and personal. Also I once heard a tip that if you visualize kicking higher (I don’t disagree w the straight up, simply that while doing so imagine you’re aiming for his navel or smth) you generate more force to kick with 😊💕 just a tip for future reference!

Lmaooo, I appreciate that Shez went with something as hilarious as water-balloon balls to lighten the mood after that story.

Absolutely! She brings them low she can raise them high 💪

CRACK?????
Shez how much of your salary goes into replacing these dummies????
Nonnie
I bet Ruth cuts takes some dollars from Shez’s salary for each dummy that is broken lol
rustyhearts
🤣 it’s specifically designed to be kicked – sturdier than it looks, I promise!
Didi
I love sitting down for my Sunday lunch and seeing a new page of LB. Been the routine for a long while now and I look forward to it every week. 🥪📖
Is the water balloon teaching method something that people actually do for this type of self-defense? Or was this a fun invention of your own?

“Otherwise you’ll be just hitting his bladder” Well, a bladder trauma sounds good too for those kind of moids.
rustyhearts
They’re certainly not undeserving of more damage, but from what I understand it’s way less debilitating than aiming straight up.

I do not blame you 🤣🤣
Glad it had its desired affect, you’d be perfect for the class!

Maybe Shez can try out that move on “Babygirl” sometime… 🤔🤔🤔

Ruth probably pays Shez so much for these classes because they’re always an increase in clientele at the bar after.

Yes I completely agree. I’ve also seen that written. Aim higher than you think you need to to give your kick more omph.
