WHY SELF-DEFENSE?
Simply put, being #PreparedNotScared means that you are not going to wait until you are attacked to learn defensive tactics. You are taking the initiative to prepare yourself in case an attack happens.
Self-defense is not the same as martial arts training, although many techniques were developed from different styles of martial arts. Many martial arts only facilities focus primarily on tournament style competitions that happen in controlled spaces, with a set of designated rules. A good self-defense course will also incorporate awareness tips and verbal skills, not just physical training that mirrors realistic scenarios.
After completing a self-defense course, you are empowered to prevent violence by using skills such as de-escalation, assertiveness, and situational awareness. You also increase your self-esteem and self-confidence, knowing you are ready to defend yourself if needed.
Although there are no guarantees in self-defense training, it's important to leave the course with a new set of eyes to identify different strategies that will increase your ability to escape quickly and safely.
There is no better time than the present to begin learning a new set of skills that may potentially save your life or that of another.
