What do the Women’s Self-Defense classes focus on?
This class focuses on practical techniques for women’s self defense, and contains a strong mental component in addition to the physical. In keeping with the spirit of internal martial arts, both the mental and physical are equally important. Physical – The internal arts teach principles of dynamic movement, leverage, and coordinated power, all of which can enable a female to equal the odds against a physically stronger aggressor. Mental – Students will gain confidence by learning how to effectively defend against assaults. More importantly, they will also develop an increased mental awareness and an intuition for avoiding violent encounters altogether, through the practice of meditative principles characteristic of the internal martial arts. The techniques are taught in an easy to learn, step by step format in a safe, yet challenging, environment. There is also a conditioning component whereby the student will develop whole body strength in a fun and stress-reducing workout.
