We had a great women’s February self defense clinic, with a tough hour and a half of armlocks, escapes, and overcoming stronger opponents.  Stay tuned for the next one!

Women’s self defense class on Friday, August 29. Drills were escaping pins, chokes from the back, and drills.  Next one planned in October, ladies get on the list!!

I have taught five women’s self defense clinics this year and each has been a successful turnout, and positive feedback.  Women have self confidence and an ability to overcome bigger, stronger assailants.

I note that each clinic I have taught, women are usually a little shy at first, but at the end, I have never taught a clinic where they did not enjoy the armlocks, chokes, reverses and the empowerment it gives them.

The main benefit after the clinic from the women seems to be about self confidence, and not fearing unknown variables of self defense.  This is a very positive aspect, and on youtube a few minutes recorded of women discussing my clinic really captivates what they gained:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54jdo8D3T7c&feature=channel_video_title

The December clinic was a hit.  Despite the pouring rain, the women showed up for their training.  You women are the toughest and most awesome ones on the planet!

We look forward to formulating a quarterly self defense clinic for women in 2012.  If you are reading this and are interested, please register on our website and send us an email for more information.
