~ Women's Self-Defense ~
Many women live in fear of assault, and as a result they often limit their mobility in an effort to feel safe. Because a woman can be attacked at any time and in any place, attempting to avoid all dangerous situations is an unrealistic solution. Learning self-defense can be an effective way for you to reduce your fear of assault, heighten your self-confidence, and strengthen your personal safety. Learning how to keep yourself safe tends to reduce anxiety, raise self-esteem, and build confidence. By making the learning and practicing of these important ideas a priority for ourselves and our loved ones, we can improve the safety and quality of our lives. Contrary to the myth that you will only get hurt worse if you fight back, research shows that resisting is effective. The only woman to escape serial rapist Ted Bundy was the one who fought back.
