Are you a female and do you want to learn real street self-defence but have trouble with spending money you don't have due to family, then contact Ray and have a chat with him.
Ray is looking for 2 teen ages to 2 mature sporty women to be trained and be in his self-defence book. So if you have what it takes and are happy to have your photo taken and put in his book, you will have your name in the book and also get a free book once it has been published. (If all goes well Ray wants to donate money to the rape crisis centre)
Learning real street self-defence techniques can incredibly benefit personal safety and confidence.
Here are some key benefits:
1. Enhanced Personal Safety
- Real-world self-defence techniques are designed to address the unpredictable nature of street confrontations. They teach you how to react effectively and protect yourself against potential threats.
2. Increased Confidence
- Knowing you have the skills to handle dangerous situations boosts self-assurance. This confidence can deter potential attackers, as they are less likely to target someone who appears self-assured and aware.
3. Improved Situational Awareness
- Self-defence training emphasises the importance of recognizing and avoiding potential threats. You learn to identify warning signs and de-escalate situations before they become physical.
4. Effective Response to Real Scenarios
- Unlike traditional martial arts, which may focus on forms or rules, street self-defence techniques prioritize practical moves tailored to real-life situations, such as being grabbed, pinned, or surrounded.
5. Physical Fitness and Strength
- Regular practice improves strength, agility, reflexes, and endurance, all essential in a self-defence scenario.
6. Stress Management
- Facing simulated attacks in training helps condition your mind to remain calm and focused under pressure, reducing the likelihood of freezing or panicking in a real-life situation.
7. Empowerment
- Especially for individuals who may feel vulnerable, self-defence training provides a sense of empowerment and the knowledge that they can protect themselves.
8. Legal Awareness
- Many self-defence courses include discussing the legal implications of defending yourself and helping you understand what actions are permissible in different situations.
9. Versatility in Various Settings
- Techniques are often adaptable for confined spaces, crowded areas, or even when dealing with multiple attackers, ensuring you can protect yourself in diverse environments.
10. Increased Discipline and Focus
- Regular training instils discipline, patience, and the ability to stay focused during high-pressure moments skills that carry over into other areas of life.
Investing time in learning street self-defence is not just about physical protection; it’s about cultivating a mindset and skillset that prepare you for life’s uncertainties while building resilience and confidence.
