Self Defense for Women

Women are more endangeres as men because of their weaker physiology and their social circumstances. And although we are awake to the hugh violence against women we often handle this fact as negligibility.

This seminar has been developed especially to the needs and abilities of women. Here the women learn how to evade violent situations, how to defend against violent attacks and how to resist stressful situations. Furthermore the women learn how to defend against armed and unarmed attacks as well as to disengage themselves from conflict situations by striking back.
