Men and women can benefit from the most excellent self-defense methods, but let's face it: Women need them more than men do since they are targeted for assault more frequently, so womens self defense classes are a must.

Although most women's self-defense classes concentrate on techniques for swiftly and effectively dispatching an attacker, self-defense instruction should also cover ...

  Women aren’t told to assault or harass them. Women/men sometimes exercise poor judgment about safety behavior, but that doesn’t make them responsible for the attack, attackers are responsible for their attacks and their use of violence to overpower, control, and abuse another human being. Whatever a woman’s decision in a given self-defense situation, whatever action she does or does not take, she is not at fault. A woman should live with self-respect and get respect. Self-defense classes should not be used as a judgment against a victim. Here are some answers that people are facing about self-defense. WHAT IS WOMEN’S SELF-DEFE NSE? Self-defense is a set of awareness, aggressiveness, verbal confrontation skills, safety strategies, and physical techniques that enable someone to successfully escape, resist and survive violent attacks.  Womens self defense classes  provide psychological awareness and verbal skills, not just physical training.  DOES SELF DEFENSE WORK?

  You're just coming out of the store when you notice a man walking up from behind. He appears to have an envelope in his hand. You watch as he approaches and hands it to you before quickly turning around and walking away. What do you do? Disregarding your curiosity, what if you have a child with you? Situations like this are almost inevitable as the holidays approach, and many people often fall victim to those predators waiting for an opportune moment to rise. Tip 1 –  Be alert!  – Sounds simple right? It is no brainer, really; however, so many people are so preoccupied with their phones, personal appearance, and other distractions that they barely realize what ten feet in front of them is. Tip #2 –  Keep your luggage to a minimum –  if you're carrying many bags, then you might let it weigh you down. Predators are looking for easy prey. We recommend leaving behind the pocket diaper or the new laptop case to stay safe. If you are going on a shopping spree, bring...

  When it comes to self-defense there are no guaranteed answers. There is no single martial art and training system that will fully prepare you for all violent encounters, some styles of self-defense styles will work much better in certain situations than others.  A single punch can end a fight. To prevent yourself from being knocked unconscious, it is vital to have a strong understanding of what causes knockouts in the first place. There are three primary reasons for this – a knockout can occur when the brain strikes against the inside of the skull because of impact forces applied externally, or a knockout can happen as a result of internal forces hitting against your vagus nerve, which originates in your brainstem but spreads out across your chest into your organs. This type of knockout is known as a "TKO." The third and most rare type of knockout occurs when the recipient experiences extremely distorted sensory processing and retains consciousness but cannot respond due to...

  Today, I wanted to make a post about one of THE most common motifs in the  womens self defense classes /martial arts industry – Women’s Empowerment. It’s a nice enough message, and I can see the sincerity in wanting to help women become capable of protecting themselves – and as a result, become empowered. As a member of the female community, my major issue with this marketing angle is that it suggests women are lacking a quality of character which they can only gain through the type of training being offered. NEWS FLASH LADIES!! You. Are. Already. Empowered. I am not a feminist and don’t subscribe to any political labels, but as a person who happens to have female biology, I have NEVER identified as being unempowered, even when I felt at my lowest. I wasn’t someone who necessarily needed to be empowered. In hindsight, what I needed was to feel my power, to find the evidence of it, to reconnect/connect to it. This might be semantics to some, but in my opinion, it drastically ...

  Women face a different kind of violence from men, and with it comes different problems. Let’s take a look at the 5 most commonly reported and documented attacks women face. I’ll give you some very basic tips you can implement in order to avoid and deal with these problems. *Disclaimer: physically training to defend yourself against these attacks is by far the most effective method to survive these problems. However, having knowledge of what to do and what not to do will increase your day-to-day safety by helping you make smarter choices.* 1. A HAIR GRAB AND DRAG Commonly, criminals will look for the easiest and most low-risk ways to carry out an attack on a person. For women especially, it is simple for an attacker to take advantage of hair, especially if it’s tied up and easy to grab. The attacker can come approach fairly unnoticed from behind and before you realise what’s going on they can have a good grip on you and take you to the ground or a second location. What can you do...

  The best self-defense strategies and techniques work equally well for women and men, but let's face it: Women need to know them because they're assaulted more often than men. Statistics indicate that one in three women will be the victim of some violent attack in her lifetime. Women also endure more situations involving sexual harassment as well as verbal harassment. Although most women's self-defense courses focus on skills for quickly and efficiently destroying an attacker, self-defense training also should include methods for preventing a confrontation from turning physical in the first place. Learning how to steer away from a threat may not sound as exciting as ripping out an attacker's heart, but as they say in every beginner's class, evading an attack is almost always better than blocking an attack if you stick with strategies and simple gross-motor-movement techniques- as they are described here.  TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS Many women join a self-defense class af...

  There is too much discussion and debate about one common question:  do women need to train in Krav Maga differently than men? However, the shortest answer to this is yes. The rationale behind the answer is that women face different real-life violent experiences and situations than men. This places much impact on the fact that women should be placed and equipped with techniques and tools that can effectively be applied against those threats specifically.  On the other hand, there is also another school of thought that runs simultaneously to this one. Here, people tend to think that training for Krav Maga shouldn’t be different for men and women. The reason being that  self-defense for adults  is still self-defense, whereas crime is still a crime. There is no difference when it comes to facing violence. Most of the women’s self-defense classes will have much gentle implications of the curriculum so that they can learn how to cope up with the violence. In this ca...
