Practical Self Defense

Practical Self Defense

Pure Martial Arts and Fitness’s self-defense classes cover a range of physical techniques and also address the mental and emotional aspects of self-defense. Here are some topics that we cover:

  • Basic self-defense techniques: We cover techniques for striking, blocking, and grappling. It is important to focus on techniques that are easy to learn and remember under stress.
  • Situational awareness: How to recognize potentially dangerous situations and how to avoid them. Students should be taught to trust their instincts and to be aware of their surroundings.
  • Self-defense against common attacks: These cover techniques for defending against common attacks, such as punches, grabs, and chokes. Students are also taught how to defend themselves against multiple attackers.
  • Ground fighting: We cover techniques for defending yourself while on the ground. Ground fighting is a critical component of self-defense because this is where many fights end up.
  • Weapons defense: Techniques for defending against attacks with weapons, such as knives and guns. Students should learn how to disarm an attacker and how to defend themselves while unarmed.
  • Stress management: It is important to address the mental and emotional aspects of self-defense. Students learn techniques for managing stress and fear, and for staying calm and focused under pressure.

Overall, Pure Martial Arts and Fitness’s self-defense curriculum is practical, effective, and adaptable to a range of situations. You are also taught in a safe and supportive environment, with an emphasis on respect and mutual understanding.
