In today's world, there are many reasons why women would be concerned with their personal safety. Unfortunately, there are just as many self-defense courses advertised for customers. How can you, as a woman or a concerned man, find the right program without spending time and money on false assurances? All it takes is a little research and a lot of common sense (or women's intuition) to make sure the program you're interested in will actually work in a real life situation.

 
The first thing to consider, when choosing a self-defense program, is the claims it’s advertising. There is no way that a 20-dollar/two week course can prepare you for any dangerous situation. As in most things, you get what you pay for. Many courses do not take into consideration the realities of life, in regards to self-defense. That cool karate move probably won't work in a dark alley where your assailant doesn't care about your brown belt.

Talk to the instructor and ask exactly how these training sessions can be applied in real life. Most good and serious instructors will be honest about how their techniques work in dangerous situations. If they refuse to consider your questions, then it's likely that they don't really teach self-defense; they just teach the skill. There IS a major difference between the training studio and the street.
The course to be considered should include some major points--it should deal with realistic situations and it should encourage the mental mindset necessary to deal with these situations.

 While the studio or dojo (martial arts school) may provide a suitable training atmosphere, the truth is that many assaults take place in very different circumstances. Your instructor should deal with these concerns and provide defense strategies for many different scenarios.

 
Hands on training are vital to any self-defense course. You cannot measure your reaction or your strength in these situations unless you have actually participated in a physical confrontation. Discussion and practice are important to any course, but it all comes down to how you deal with the attacker in a dark alley or brightly lit street; not how you answer all the oral questions in your class.

 
You do not have to be a fighter, boxer, or martial arts expert to defend yourself, nor do you have to be in perfect physical condition to pursue a self-defense course. Your instructor should be able to adapt the course to your size, shape, or weight. All types of women should, and can, defend themselves with a properly taught course.


Women’s Self defense is a set of verbal, psychological, and physical techniques you can use to defend yourself in situations ranging from unwanted or harassing comments, to physical abuse or rape. Our Women’s Self defense training helps with everyday assertiveness and boundary-setting as well as preparing you to fight back in physical attacks.

 Women's self defense training incorporate an understanding of the kinds of violence most often experienced by women and the common social and psychological barriers women face in learning to fight back. Women learning self-defense gain both physical and verbal defense skills that will be useful and protect against an attacker.


Self-defense classes also give women a rare opportunity to explore the broad spectrum of emotions that often arise when we start to understand the level of violence in our society. It is an excellent vehicle for exploring anger, grief, and fear, and for tapping into the joy that comes from finding your voice and discovering your own internal power.
