Common Sense Self-Defense - Women’s Self-Defense Training

Self-defense is not a sport or an exercise video, it is a way to protect you and potentially survive an unwelcomed encounter. Most women who are attacked are not prepared to defend themselves. Our instruction is designed to give you the basic skills and confidence to stay safe and alive in the case of an attack. The main objective is to stop the assault and get away.

Our defense concepts are simple and focus on the tried-and-true elements of traditional martial arts training; attack the weaker parts of the aggressor's body with the stronger parts of yours. Our defense strategies are strength, size and gender neutral. The main focus of our training centers on vital strike areas (eyes, nose, ears, throat, groin, solar plexus etc.) –These are highly sensitive parts of the body that remain vulnerable no matter the size and strength of the potential attacker.
