WOMEN’S SELF-DEFENSE

The objective of the Women’s Self-Defense program is to familiarize the student with the basic principles of self-defense while promoting physical fitness and physical conditioning. A female, Head Instructor LaVonne Martin, teaches this program. The student will obtain the female perspective with respect to training and self-preservation. While it is important to gain this insight, male instructors will be introduced into the class to provide real life experience and help illustrate the dynamics of an encounter with an opponent of greater strength. The course will provide physical self-defense training as well as mental training. Knowing the actual techniques is not enough. During an attack, fear and panic take over unless the mind has been conditioned to carry out the physical techniques learned. The physical and mental techniques are learned and practiced repetitively in a controlled environment so that in the event of an attack, instinct will take over.
This course is designed to be ongoing. Not everyone will attend for the same reason. Some may attend to get in shape or because they are concerned about safety. This program provides a great work out and elevates the student’s overall level of awareness and self-confidence.
