3 Reasons Why Taking a Self Defense Class is Important from HeathFitnessRevolution.com:
- Safety: Self-defense classes will give you the ability to protect yourself and overcome an attacker. Knowing how to defend yourself can help you feel less anxious in public, or fearful when walking alone in the night. You will learn the basics of how to quickly disable and protect yourself from an attacker so that you can escape.
- Street awareness: Self defense classes will enhance your awareness of your surroundings. You never know when it might happen; you never plan to be attacked, so you must always be on the lookout of your surroundings. Self defense classes will help you gain this awareness if this type of situation should arise.
- Increased self confidence: Training in self defense helps people, especially women, develop more confidence in themselves and their surroundings. Knowing that you have the ability to defend yourself gives you the confidence and freedom to fully explore the world, meet new people and find new ways to engage with others.

Children's Self Defense - Kidz Tough
Kidz Tough - Would your child know what to do if approached by a stranger? How would they react if someone they know tried to lure them? What would they do if someone grabbed them?
Kidz Tough is a 60-minute parent/child interactive class designed to open up the dialog of safety between the child and parent. This class will help children ages 5-10 develop their own plan on how to react to an untrusted, or even a trusted adult in various dangerous situations. Students won't be taught complicated martial arts techniques that they are unlikely to apply in a real life attack, but instead will learn simple and realistic self defense skills that can be used to respond to and escape from an attempted abduction. The class is conducted in a fun and safe environment where the child and parent can work together to increase their safety. Get more information by calling us at 904-655-7772 or at womensdefensecompany.com
