Women's Self Defense

We worked hard at collecting international data about the involvement of women in violent assaults and their physical and emotional consequences. This is most important when analyzing situations in order to construct a training program designed specifically for women. Statistics show that violence against women has different backgrounds:

1. Physical violence within the family

2. Sexual assault

3. Assault on a romantic background

4. Conflicts extending the nuclear family

We know that women are not involved, according to statistic measures, in criminal acts, terror with a religious, national or economical background. Therefore, analyzing the situation enables professionals to concentrate on the existing data and train them better in specific self-defense, resistance to pressure, emotional coping and acquiring skills and means to confront situations as mentioned above. There is no intention to train them to become warriors.

The Active Self Defense course is constructed on the basis of several contents, such as:

1. A woman relating to an assault she has endured whose background is, and other examples.

2. A lecture given by a psychologist- coping with unusual situations such as pressure, fear, loss control etc.

3. Training in self-defense skills. (Strangling, embracing, seizing, defending, attacking, kicking, threat and assault with knife, release on ground, behavior and activity in open and closed locations, defense against physical violence, recognizing points of weakness, using any handy weapon etc.

4. Physical training and enhancing mental willingness for self-defense.

5. Coaching interpersonal communication.

6. Law and rule- what is considered assault and self-defense.

7. Exercising simulations of situations in an open or closed space.

8. Recording and control, additional data collecting from the field.
