You’re probably reading this article because you want to learn self-defense, or how to protect yourself in a fight if you ever get in one. In our self-defense classes, we cover everything you need to know about self-defense, including how to position yourself, strike, block, and break free, but you’ll also learn about mental self-defense techniques like awareness, threat prevention, and keeping calm in high-stress situations.
We may be biased, but we believe self-defense is one of the most important skills in the world. And after reading this article, we hope you’ll agree with us! Read more to find out the 4 best reasons to take self-defense classes.
Unfortunately, This World is Unpredictable and You May Need to Protect Yourself
Let’s face it- after the biggest pandemic of our lifetimes, it’s clear that we have far less control than we think! We can’t count on normal or routine, because it could be disrupted at any time…
Unfortunately, it’s just impossible to guarantee that you’ll pass each day safely and without threat. This isn’t something to think too far into or a reason to stop you from leaving the house, but it’s necessary to reflect on from time to time, especially when you’re considering self-defense classes.
We like to tell our students in our self-defense classes that self-defense is the one thing you don’t want to have to use- but if you need it, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got it. Our martial arts classes prepare every one of all ages to handle an attack and protect themselves and their loved ones from harm, and we’re proud to be able to teach our students how to handle anything life throws their way.
Keep Yourself Safe
Protect Your Loved Ones
In this world, most parents want to make sure their kids know how to defend themselves. Especially in the unfortunate world we live in, women and daughters are more likely to be attacked, so parents want to make sure their daughters know how to keep themselves safe.
It’s important to be able to keep yourself safe, but it’s another thing entirely to be able to keep the people you love safe too. It would be heartbreaking- and it’s happened before- to feel like you could have done more if someone you loved got attacked in your presence.
It’s also critical to pass down self-defense education to your children, partners, loved ones, and community members so they can keep themselves and their family members safe if anything should happen when you’re not there to protect them. That’s why we run martial arts classes.
We want to educate the community and keep everyone as safe as possible, and self-defense is the best way to do it. Learning self-defense for yourself will rub off on the people you care about, and you’ll all feel as safe and capable as possible in any situation you come across.
Become More Confident in Your Body
Research has shown that self-defense classes help students feel more confident and capable in their bodies in public situations. You’ll feel more confident in your physique because our classes help you get fit fast, but it also means feeling safe and secure existing in a physical space where threats or attackers can come from anywhere at any time (again- you never know what will happen).
Plus, you’re breaking a sweat every class but purposefully, so you feel even more accomplished after every class. Training, until it’s all muscle memory in our martial arts classes, is a wonderful exercise in self-discipline, and it’s such an accomplishment to look back on your progress and see how you’ve transformed. This is especially true for our female students, who tend to feel better being in public after they’ve learned self-defense and its benefits.
What do you think- ready to join self-defense classes yet? It is critical, and we do believe it’s one of the most important skills we can teach to our community. Hopefully, now you can understand that the best reasons to learn self-defense go beyond just physical safety. When you learn self-defense, you’re empowering yourself and those around you to live safer lives! Check out our life-saving self-defense classes right here at our school!
