Self-Defense For Women...?
.....When a Man attacks a Man, he wants his Money, or his Life.
.....When a Man attacks a Woman, he wants her Money, her Life, or her Body. When we look at the motivating factors of criminal activity, we see that women are often faced with the added threat of sexual assault. Because of the added threat of sexual assault, O.C. Defensive Arts has programs that are specifically designed for women. In fact, this is one of the key factors that sets us apart from other martial arts, or self-defense providers. Our programs are designed for women, by women. The techniques that we teach have been developed over several years in a "Living Laboratory" to find out what really works for a woman.
Martial Arts vs. Self-Defense
A good martial arts program can provide many benefits. However most programs fail to properly train
women to defend themselves against the types of attacks they're commonly subjected to.
Many schools teach techniques from a males perspective, or use one-dimensional “sports training” models that
fail to involve the physical, psychological and emotional dimensions that occur during real assault situations.
Bottom-line, martial arts schools are often ineffective in teaching women "Real Street" self-defense.
The techniques have a low probability of success and most fail to work in "Real Street" situations.
Self-Defense is more than strikes, kicks, or techniques, it's about learning how to end an attack quickly, effectively and ideally unharmed. This is why we focus on developing the student's ability to use simple strategies and techniques together to create solutions to the most common types of attack scenarios. About Our Classes
Classes cover realistic scenarios using modern techniques in a controlled and safe environment.
We are one of the only programs in Orange County to offer full contact adrenaline training against a
padded assailant. Training in a full-force environment allows the student to feel the effects
that adrenaline can have on the mind and body. Students also learn what it feels like to correctly
deliver a real and decisive knockout blow and then learn how to effectively deliver continuous incapacitating strikes.
Utilizing this type of training, the student engrains the techniques into muscle memory. This enables
the body to respond in an effective manner, even if the mind fails to recall information.
The Paradox of Preperation and Self-Defense
The more prepared you are to defend youself, the less likely you are to
need it. As you recognize and respond effectively to potentially dangerous situations, you become
more confident. As your confidence increases, you are less likely to become a target of violance.
