Self-Defense For Men vs. 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.

You can see from the example above that women face the added threat of sexual assault when it comes to criminal violence. Because of that added threat, O.C. Defensive Arts offers programs that are specifically designed for women. In fact, this is what sets us apart from other martial arts schools, or self-defense providers in the Orange County area.

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 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 learn how to effectively deliver continuous incapacitating strikes and what it feels like to correctly deliver a real knockout blow. Utilizing "Full Force Adrenaline Based 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.
