Why Learn Self Defense?
If you ever find yourself needing to defend yourself, basic tactics and techniques can make the difference between a difficult day and a life-altering event. Unfortunately, in such a situation, no one else can do it for you. It is best to be prepared for any eventuality, as no one wants to be in the position of having to defend themselves.
Additionally, you’ll increase your confidence knowing that you can defend yourself if needed. This often removes or dramaticaly reduces the fear and anxiety felt around various situations. In addition it can give people the courage to say no and assert themselves in difficult situation, knowing if needed they can back up their words with actions.
Self-defense can give you a sense of empowerment, helping you become more assertive and resilient. It also encourages problem solving skills and teaches you how to remain calm in stressful situations. Of course we hope these situations never arise and often having the confidence to deal with them leads others to not see you as an easy target and reduces the likelihood of you needing to defend yourself.
