A Saskatchewan mixed-martial artist says confidence is the best form of self defence. Charmaine “Not So Sweet” Tweet, a highly-ranked professional fighter, put on a self-defence clinic on Sunday at the Alliance Training Centre in Stonebridge. The women who attended practised punching or “striking” would-be-assailants, as well as various “takedown”” methods. Tweet said everyone, but women in particular, can benefit from learning to defend themselves on the street if necessary. The most important element of the training, however, is the confidence it gives participants. Tweet said she’s never felt physically threatened in public, and she attributes it to walking tall. People can see she’s confident, definitely not looking like a victim. “Ten per cent of it is the skill. Ninety per cent of it is the self-confidence,” said Tweet, whose next featherweight bout takes place in March. The Kenaston native, who now lives in Qu’Appelle, hosted a seminar in Prince Albert Saturday before coming toSaskatoon on Sunday. “She’s a great fighter, and she’s got so much knowledge,” said participant Alexandra Markov. Participant Kat Duncombe, who already has a bit of a martial arts and a kick-boxing background, appreciated Tweet taking the time to help them. “I wanted to learn more. I really like throwing people,” Dumcombe said with a laugh. “It’s definitely nice to know some of these things.” Charmaine "Not So Sweet" Tweet, a highly-ranked professional fighter, put on a self-defence clinic on Sunday at the Alliance Training Centre in Stonebridge on Dec. 13.
