Practical Self Defence For Women

Last updated Nov 2006 Coaches Seminars DVD Photographs

Practical Self Defence courses are safe, fun to learn, and suitable for any fitness level. During your course all aspects of self-protection will be covered including psychology and the law, with a mix of lively discussion and practical exercises. Courses are designed to develop assertiveness, awareness and self-confidence, as well as teaching effective self defence skills.

"Improve self confidence, assertiveness and self esteem."

The self defence skills we teach have their origins in the martial art of Wing Chun Kung Fu. The effectiveness of Wing Chun is well documented; it has been refined over the years for economy and direct application. Courses range from half or day long seminars to ten week courses of two hour sessions. Courses can be tailored to suit the needs of you and your group. We can either arrange training facilities or teach at a venue of your choice. Prices will vary accordingly. Your course can also be recorded on request (this will be an additional charge).

"Superb all round body protection."

Training to deal with and prevent physical violence can help reduce, and put into perspective, every day psychological stress and strain. Alan Gibson has taught Wing Chun for many years and has held regular Women's Self Defence seminars and courses including work for Southampton Dept. of Adult Education, the Probation Service, The Youth Service, Southampton Working Women's Project, Southampton City Training and Southampton University. The Wing Chun Federation is also registered with Southampton Sports Development Unit.

A typical self defence course could include the following...

Awareness Drills - Being switched on and alert is key to effective self defence.

Avoidance / Escape - This should always be your first option, followed by verbal dissuasion. Learn to deal with posturing and attempts to psyche out.

Assertiveness and Confidence - Being assertive, not aggressive.

Dealing With Aggression - Understand fear and how to channel it, not be paralysed by it.

Talking With Your Hands - The importance of using your fence (hands). This barrier controls the gap between you and an attacker.

Sensitivity - Your lead hand is your antenna to read body language. Recognise the signals that an aggressor is likely to attack.

Pre-emptive Strikes - How to hit, where to hit and when to hit.

Escape techniques - How to escape safely from wrist holds, head locks etc.

The Law - Where do you stand with self defence and the law.

Weapons - How to deal with an attacker who is armed.
