Women’s self-defense

What’s Different

Our women’s self-defense classes use a modified version of our Combatives system including more elements of Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu.

It is designed specifically for a woman to effectively use biomechanics principles:

• to overpower a larger opponent.

• to avoid being taken to the ground.

• to utilize joint breaks from the ground.

• to escape from the ground.

Four Pillars

Our women’s self-defense style is built on the same four pillars as our Combatives system:

• Self-defense techniques

• Kickboxing Skills

• Reflex Development

• Endurance Conditioning

Because you can only succeed in an encounter if you have the speed to respond (Reflexes) with an effective reaction (Self-defense) that has ample power and precision (Kickboxing) and with the endurance to last (Conditioning).

Types of classes

The full women’s self-defense course is broken up into beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes.

• The beginner class focuses on basic mechanics, self-defense techniques, and ground basics.

• The intermediate class focuses on sparring and advanced ground techniques.

• The advanced class focuses on using self-defense weapons (spray, taser, keychain spike, etc) and takedowns.
