Women's Self Defense Key Points

Self Defense for Women According to the US Department of Justice, 23 out of every 1,000 adult females in the United States will be the victim of violent assault. These statistics are actually way down from the 1980's and 1990's, it is still very important for today's woman to have first hand self defense knowledge.

The Modern Martial Arts Institute offers a specialized and comprehensive self defense program so you can learn the basics quickly and easily. We will teach you how to overcome grabs, punches, kicks and even weapons using scenario based training. We will go over the common sense aspects of self defense as a reinforcement to the practical moves taught. You will walk away from the class empowered with the knowledge that you are better prepared to protect yourself and your children should the need arise. Think of our self defense training like you think of insurance -- you hope you never have to use it, but when you do need it, it's great to have!

Below are some of the Key Points of our approach to Self Defense.

AWARENESS & AVOIDANCE
Being "switched on" to your surroundings and being aware of your situation is one of the most important factors of your personal safety. Our system will teach you easy to understand techniques of awareness & avoidance.

BODY LANGUAGE
Observing someone's mannerisms - how they stand, how they are using their hands, facial expressions and gestures - can tell you a lot about a person's intentions. We will teach you how to recognise these signs so you can be one step ahead.
