Where possible, we will provide the material with pictures or links to videos.

Features of self-defense on the street

The street is not a gym, and the observance of sports and moral rules is not provided here. Almost always any street fight is a fight without rules. Also on the street there is a surprise factor: a criminal can attack at any time and from anywhere. The stake here is on fear and a state of shock, in which it is difficult to take any adequate action. When walking or going somewhere, you should always keep in mind that an unforeseen extreme situation may arise in which you will have to defend yourself. Of course, you don’t need to be paranoid, but you should always and everywhere. The advantage is that when attacking on the street, the defender has many options for action: from escaping to using a very different arsenal of techniques.

Features of self-defense in a confined space

Attacks in entrances, on landings, in bars, etc. far from uncommon. Protecting yourself in a confined space is more difficult than on the street, because. there is no room for sweeping movements, turns, etc. Here, strikes should be distinguished by maximum speed, accuracy and efficiency. The distance from the enemy also matters: the closer he is to you, the more likely it is that he can quietly use some kind of weapon. It is necessary to strive to attack as early as possible and stronger in order to quickly retreat.

Most Effective Hits

To work out the blows, it is advisable to set aside time and practice with a partner. We will consider not only classical, but also strikes prohibited in sports, based on the impact on a person’s pain points. There are many such points on the body:

The blows described below hit the most vulnerable spots on the attacker's body:

• Direct hit. Apply to the nose, jaw, eyes, neck, throat. Able to "knock out" the attacker, knocking him out, and knock him down. Tip for beginners: in order to avoid injury to the hand and knuckles, you should beat not with your fist, but with the base of the palm:

• Uppercut. It is applied with a fist to the opponent's jaw from the bottom up. Instantly neutralizes the attacker. When striking, it is recommended to slightly turn your fist towards you - this way the blow will be stronger (training is needed to practice the blow, because unprepared knuckles and fingers can be knocked out):

• A blow to the groin. A sneaky, but trouble-free blow that can seriously harm the offender. You can hit with your knee or foot, as well as with your backhand. For greater efficiency when hitting the opponent's knee, you can take the breasts and pull it towards you. It is better to beat with the feet when it is impossible to reach with the knee:

• Hit under the kneecap. A painful and effective blow. Apply sideways or straight. If you hit from the side, the enemy can be unbalanced, and if you hit him directly, you can break his bone or joint:

• Hitting the Sun. Apply to the solar plexus area. You can beat with a fist or the base of the palm, but as sharply as possible. When attacking from behind, it is convenient to beat with the elbow. The blow knocks out the breath and neutralizes the offender (a strong blow deprives consciousness):

• A blow to the shin. Causes severe sharp pain in the opponent, as well as temporary paralysis of the limb or bone fracture. It is recommended to hit with the inside of the sole. You can hit with a toe only if you are wearing strong shoes with a hard toe or a massive tread:

• A blow to the ears. Belongs to the category of prohibited. Quickly throws an opponent off balance, stunning them. Can damage eardrums and cause ear bleeding:

• A blow to the toes or the instep of the foot. It is better to apply with the whole heel. Can cause temporary paralysis of the limb and fracture of the fingers:

Basic protection techniques

Self-defense techniques are very diverse, and defense techniques occupy a separate place among them. Considering that the course information is more intended for beginners, we will describe just a couple of them:

• Block. Universal element of protection against blows by hands. To perform the simplest block with your hands, you can intercept the opponent’s hands, knock them to the side, or simply cover your face with your forearms:

• Brush grip. Used to protect against punches. When performing, you need to capture exactly the hand with which the opponent beats:

Defense elements are always more complex than attack elements. To master them professionally, you need to contact a sports section or school for any type of martial art (we will consider the types of martial arts in the next lesson). A successful defense requires a quick reaction and.

However, for protection, you can use not only blocks and grips of the brush, but also special techniques. In most situations, they show greater efficiency, because. their execution does not require well-established movements and such skill as for blocks and grips. We continue our self-defense lessons.

How to free yourself from suffocation or capture

Self-defense techniques are a good opportunity to free yourself from captures and suffocations. One effective way is as follows: if the criminal has grabbed you by the throat with one hand, you need to hit him in the face to loosen his grip. Then you should lean on the opponent’s arm with your forearm or shoulder from top to bottom with all your body weight.

In the case when your hand is captured, you need to turn it towards the opponent's thumb, then transfer the center of gravity through the front leg to the captured arm and hang on it. The unloaded leg can be used to strike the offender in the thigh or groin. In addition, it is useful to use the energy of a turn to hit the offender in the face with a backhand.

What to do if clothes are grabbed

If the offender grabs you by the clothes, you need to put your feet slightly wider than your shoulders for greater stability, put your palm on the attacker's arm and press it as hard as possible. Then you should hit him in the shin to divert attention. After that, without letting go of the scoundrel's hand, you need to turn around to face him and, raising your other hand, free yourself from the grip.

It is important not to spin in the direction of the opponent, otherwise he will be able to easily hit you with his free hand, but to spin in the other direction to make it harder to reach you. If the kick went past the shin, you need to take a step back and hit the enemy again, but not with your foot, but with your hand - in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe lower ribs. You need to hit with all your might in order to influence for sure.

What to do if grabbed by the neck

Let's say the criminal grabbed your neck with both hands. You need to raise your hands to confuse him - he will think that you are giving up. Then you need to hold his hands, step back slightly and turn around, while removing the attacker's hands from his neck. After that, it is important to quickly turn to face the enemy and sharply hit him in the nose or throat with one hand, and with the other - in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe lower ribs.

You should not kick the scoundrel in the groin when grabbing the neck, because. men instinctively protect it, and the attacker can simply squeeze your hips, thereby stopping your leg. Also remember that your neck is only under the control of the criminal's two thumbs, and if you manage to grab just one of them, you can easily twist it.

What if they try to push

If the attacker wants to push you, it's best to simply shrug it off: raise your arms and hold them at shoulder level with your opponent, then step to the side and slam one hand down the opponent's arms as if you were brushing off mosquitoes. After that, you can hit the offender with the base of the palm of the other hand in the nose.

Never step back or you may fall on your back. In addition, by stepping back, you give the criminal space to continue the attack. And shifting to the side will change the trajectory of the attacker's movements, which will give you some time.

While doing this, keep your arms relaxed and do not spread them wide. When you are pushed with your right hand, fight back with your left, and vice versa. When pushing with both hands, fight back with your left (if you are right-handed) so that you can strike with your right (for left-handers, the sequence is reversed).

What to do if they want to punch

If you have fixed that the opponent is going to perform a blow in a straight line, take a step to the side, knock off the blow that has begun with one hand, and with the other hit the attacker in the nose.

If you understand that the blow will be from the side, you can either duck or block with the hand that is being struck. After parrying the attack, use the opposite hand to strike back at the offender - direct or side.

Keep in mind that if the attacker manages to knock you down, you will be in a vulnerable position - you can just be pinned down from above and start beating, etc. It is very difficult to get out of this situation. And if you lie on your stomach, then the chances of repelling attacks and getting back on your feet are reduced to zero.

Tip: if you are lying on your back and the enemy has sat on top of you, in any way try to free at least one hand in order to poke your fingers into the eyes of the offender with all your might or hit him with the edge of your palm in the neck or nose.

What to do if grabbed from behind by the body

Self-defense techniques give a person many advantages. If you were taken into a “bear” grip (grabbed with both hands behind the body), you will only have your hands at your disposal. Try to find the attacker's little finger and pull it sharply in the direction of the wrist - believe me: it will be very unpleasant for him.

You can do otherwise: sit down, slightly shifting the pelvis, try to get your hands to the attacker’s inner thigh and squeeze the soft tissues or scrotum with all your might. The pain will cause the attacker to loosen his grip, and you can free yourself.

By the way, when grabbing the neck from behind (not with your hands, but with your forearm), you don’t need to waste time trying to hit in the groin. It is much more effective to press the chin to the chest and sharply hit the back of the head in the opponent's face. Even if he is taller than you, you have a chance to damage his jaw.

What to do if grabbed from behind by the neck

If you are grabbed by the neck, there is no need to panic, because. if you wanted to kill, you would not be able to think. You need to grab the attacker’s upper arm with both hands and bring your chin to his elbow to make it easier to breathe. Then you should sit down, continue to hold the offender's hand with one hand, and squeeze the inner surface of his thigh with all your might.

As soon as you feel that the grip is weakening, quickly free yourself, turn around and hit the attacker sharply in the nose or throat. The enemy will be disoriented, and you will have time to escape or continue the attack.

What to do if they grab the elbow

When you are grabbed by the elbow, turn to face the opponent and take a stable position. Then, with your free hand, press the attacker's hand to yourself with maximum force, and lift the other hand slightly up and make a circular motion around the attacker's forearm. This will allow you to free yourself from the grip.

What to do if attacked with a knife

If the criminal put a knife to your neck, you can only resist if you are sure that there is no other option and to protect yourself from the knife. Then wrap your hands around the attacker's hand, firmly fix it, sit down, tilt the body forward and point the blade towards the attacker.

If the attacker is at a distance from you, it is best to move away from him by increasing the distance and amplitude of the movement of the weapon. You can also use special brush grips, but this is much more dangerous, and only trained people can perform them. But remember the trick: the longer the knife, the easier it is to knock it out - with your foot or with some object, so short and small knives are more dangerous.

For a more visual representation of the techniques discussed above (as well as some others), we suggest you watch some useful training videos:

Now we are moving on to the second big part of the lesson - self-defense for the fair sex.

Safety rules for girls and women

It is wrong to believe that criminals only attack frivolous girls walking around in the middle of the night in miniskirts. The results of studies conducted by the UN have shown that around the world, every third girl becomes a victim of street violence. Statistics is a stubborn thing, and therefore we recommend that ladies first familiarize themselves with the safety rules for girls and women:

• If you notice that someone is following you, change your route several times to confuse the perpetrator. You should not allow persecution to the house, especially if you have to pass through a deserted courtyard or if there is no one at home. In such a situation, it is best to call someone close or friends and ask to be met.
• When returning home at night, prepare the keys to the entrance in advance so as not to stand in front of the door, looking for them in your purse. The same goes for car keys.
• Try not to go into the entrance with someone you don't know. It is better to quickly enter and immediately close the door behind you. A person going to visit someone will call the intercom without any problems to open the door for him.
• Try to walk mainly on crowded and lit streets.
• If suddenly there are signs of breaking on the door to the apartment, you should not go inside. It is likely that someone is in the apartment, and it is better to immediately call the police and call for help.
• When you go to work or school and return home, from time to time pay attention to places where, if necessary, you can be helped. Such places include private homes, convenience stores, offices, etc.
• Who is forewarned is forearmed. Just in case, get yourself a shocker or gas cartridge and put it in your purse.
• If suddenly, while you are waiting for the elevator, an unfamiliar man appeared at the entrance, it is better to let him into the elevator, and wait for him to go up to the desired floor. It is not recommended to ride in elevators with strangers.
• If you spent the evening at a party or just visiting someone, if you are wearing a bright and provocative outfit, in case there is no one to take you home, be sure to call a taxi.
• Always and everywhere remain vigilant so that in case of a potential threat, in time to pay attention to it.

In addition to the safety rules, there are a few more tricks for girls that are very easy to use. True, they already relate to situations when the attack occurred.

Tricks for girls and women

• If you are attacked, you need to buy time. To do this, no matter how strange it may sound, you can offer the attacker to go to a more suitable place where he can accomplish his plan. You can also offer something to drink "for courage" or a snack. Sometimes it is effective to talk about your poor health, pregnancy, menstruation, venereal disease or some other dangerous and contagious disease.
• If an attack on you is carried out in a deserted place or a confined space, and the attacker is armed and is determined to carry out his plan, you cannot offend him and make him nervous. Of the two evils, choose the lesser. The main thing is to stay alive.
• An effective trick is to pretend to faint or have a heart attack, an epileptic seizure or an attack of vomiting. If you become a "vegetable" for a while, the criminal will most likely lose interest in you. If not, you will have an advantage - at a moment unexpected for the villain, you can strike him in the groin or jaw, cling to his eyes with your nails, or start scratching your face with all your might.
• If the attack occurs in the entrance or courtyard of your house, start calling someone you know by name. You can shout anything: “Vasya, help!”, “Sveta, we are on fire!”, “Sasha, they are killing! Help!”, “Vitya, save! Robbery!” etc. It is highly likely that one of your friends or neighbors will pay attention to your cries and take the necessary measures.
• Rapists most often think that by frightening the victim, they will plunge her into shock and stupor. But a different scenario can disrupt all their plans. If you have enough determination, start attacking the aggressor as fiercely as possible so that he himself feels like a victim. But here you should be careful: if the maniac has a weapon or looks like a hardened criminal, such tactics can provoke him to more decisive actions.

When tricks do not work, and preventive measures do not work and there is no one to wait for help, it is time to use self-defense techniques.

Receptions for girls and women

If it is necessary to engage in a fight, you need to attack the offender in such a way as to neutralize him for sure. Otherwise, you can only anger the attacker and provoke him to attack without regard to belonging to the weaker sex. Here are self-defense techniques that work almost flawlessly:

• A blow to the groin or a seizure of the scrotum. Very painful and effective. It must be performed as strongly and quickly as possible so as not to enrage the attacker. To hit hard, you need to fold your palm with a “boat” and hit with the side surface of your fist from the side of your thumb (approximately like they hit with a knife from the bottom up).

When the enemy is behind your back and holds you by the hair or throat, you need to hit the groin in a backhand direction down and back with the base of the fist, or with the edge and the base of the palm. If the opponent is much taller than you, you can strike with your elbow. You can also kick in the groin - as we described in the first block of the lesson.

You can also “play along” with the rapist: pretend that you don’t mind granting his “request” and enjoy it yourself. When he loses vigilance and exposes his “device”, squeeze his scrotum with all his strength, pull it towards you or twist it to the side.

• A poke in the chest cavity. To perform the technique, place all fingers together as if you were taking a pinch of salt with them, and then poke them as hard as possible into the opponent's chest cavity. The blow is applied at an angle of 45 ° either from the bottom up or from the top down, based on the growth of the attacker. If everything is done correctly, the villain will cough, his eyes will begin to water. A strong blow causes fainting. By the way, you can beat not only in the chest cavity, but also in the throat and any part of the face (preferably in the eyes).
• A blow to the nose or upper lip. It is applied with the edge of the palm from the side of the little finger. To disguise an attack, you need to fold your hands in front of your chest, palm to palm in a "begging" gesture. Ask the criminal for mercy to embarrass him. At the right moment, slightly pull your right palm (if you are right-handed) towards you and sharply hit the attacker on the upper lip (under the nose) or on the nose.
• Ear blow. Disguised in the same way as the previous one. At the time of the attack, the hands are sharply, but not strongly spread apart, after which a blow is made to the ears of the attacker. A strong blow causes rupture of the eardrums, pain shock and ear bleeding. Having stunned the rapist, you can continue the attack: grab him by the ears and start twisting his head sideways and down in a helical motion.
• Leg kick. There are two variations of the kick. Both are performed at a distance close to the attacker. First, if you're wearing heels, pull your toe slightly towards you, lift your leg, and drop your heel sharply onto the instep or toes of the attacker. Second: put one foot back a little, and then sharply kick the toe into the shin of the criminal.
• Eye gouging. The thumbs of the hands must be thrust into the scoundrel's eyes with force, and the remaining fingers should be grabbed from both sides into the corners of his lower jaw to create pressure. You need to press with your thumbs until the offender loosens his grip and steps back. If there is a wall behind the attacker, at the moment when he is disoriented, you can hit him with the back of the head against it.
• Female strike. At a moment unexpected for the criminal, you need to slightly press the leading (or free) hand to yourself, and then bitingly hit the attacker in the face with the edge of the palm or knuckles, as if you are whipping him in the face with a glove. Remember that at the beginning of the strike, the elbow is brought forward, and then the forearm and hand are “thrown out”.

It is very important not to turn your back to the enemy lying on the floor or covering his face with his hands, because. this mistake can cost a life. If you managed to buy time, you need to leave the scene of the incident as soon as possible, finish off the enemy (remember the limits of the necessary defense), call for help or call the police.

But there is another scenario: attackers can attack when a guy walks with a girl. In general, according to the laws of the street, this cannot be done, because. this is "not in a kid's way", but still such cases are far from uncommon. In most situations, the man comes into conflict, and the lady just looks, gasps and sighs, sympathetically pressing her hands to her chest. Shyness, fear, shock - all this is understandable, but you can’t stand still, and your companion needs help.

How can you help a companion in a street brawl

There are several options here. Firstly, you can start screaming with all your might and call for help, attract attention, etc. But it can work when the attacking amateurs themselves are tense and afraid of unnecessary witnesses. If experienced criminals attack, it is better not to go on the rampage and use cunning at the right moment.

Secondly, if the offender put, for example, a knife to the throat of your missus or friend, you can play on surprise and stun the attacker with a blow to the head from behind. As a rule, the attention of the villain is riveted to the victim, and he forgets about the woman who is nearby. At this point, you just need to quietly sneak up behind and hit the villain on the back of the head, which is urine.

Thirdly, if a fight broke out, the offenders will most likely forget about you, and an attack from a woman is a phenomenon that does not fit into the standard bandit scenario. You can throw a strap from your bag around the neck of one of the attackers and start choking him, hit him with a bag or some improvised object in your field of vision, get a pepper spray or even hairspray from your bag and direct the jet at the attackers.

Of course, all self-defense techniques need to be worked out. You can practice with a friend or other half in their performance. By repeating each technique 10-20 times, you will already know approximately what to do in an emergency situation.

And in addition, a little self-defense video for beautiful ladies:

• Rape protection for girls

  Canadian self-defense specialist Richard Dimitri, who has studied the factors affecting the outcome of a street fight, says that 60% of self-defense success depends on how prepared a person is for a critical situation psychologically. 25% depend on emotions and only 15% - on physical fitness and ability to defend themselves. That is why one must always keep in mind that everywhere there is a potential threat of attack.

  Naturally, no one has yet canceled physical strength. Based on this, it is advisable to lead, engage in at least some kind of sport and pay attention to the development of your body. If you are seriously interested in the topic of self-defense, you can enroll in the combat section, where you will be taught how to effectively defend and attack.

  And we will talk about which sport to choose in the final lesson of our course. We will cover the basics of two popular and powerful martial arts, Krav Maga and Sambo, as well as introduce you to many other martial arts that you can look into.

  Do you want to test your knowledge?

  If you want to test your theoretical knowledge on the topic of the course and understand how it suits you, you can take our test. Only 1 option can be correct for each question. After you select one of the options, the system automatically moves on to the next question.

Mainly boys are involved. But girls also need to know the basic techniques of self-defense.

Many girls like boyish activities. So the daughter can be safely written down for any kind of martial art. Firstly, it will improve her physical fitness and during the attack she will at least be able to quickly escape. And secondly, in training, she will learn techniques that can help her in difficult situations.

Self-defense is not always an attack. Not every girl has the strength to cope with the enemy. But it is possible and necessary to get out of a dangerous situation unscathed. For example, you can distract the attacker or strike him, and until the enemy comes to his senses, quickly retreat from the scene.

BASIC RULES OF SELF-PROTECTION

• The most important thing in both attack and defense is confidence. In extreme situations, it is important not to get confused. can give sports training.
• Use available items. Little girly fists cannot always cope with the difficult task of hitting the enemy. Take a look around. Perhaps there is something nearby that will come to the rescue. Even sand, which can be thrown into the eyes of the attacker, or the keys to the apartment will help to defend. Girls who already use perfume or hairspray can use it to protect themselves. Just remember to keep them in your purse at all times. The standard option is a gas spray for self-defense.
• A person has parts of the body that are more vulnerable than others. These are the nose, eyes, knees, solar plexus, throat, groin. They are the ones that need to be protected first. And you need to aim at them when hitting the enemy.
• When hitting, you need to use blocks. If the attacker tries to punch, react quickly and block. At this moment, it is important not to get confused and, until the enemy comes to his senses, strike back.

WHERE TO BEAT THE ATTACKER

If perfume, hairspray or a can is not at hand, you need to discourage the enemy in other ways. Best defense is attack. Any blow must be delivered with full force. Putting all your weight into it.

Not all of the above vulnerabilities are available to the child. The opponent may be taller, so a blow to the nose or eyes is not always impossible.

• The most common blow is to the groin. It will discourage the attacker for a long time, so that there will be time to escape.
• Of the more accessible places - the kneecap and lower leg. After such a blow, it will be much more difficult to catch up with the escaping.
• The easiest trick for a child is to step on his foot hard. A kick to the arch of the foot is good if the attacker has thin shoes.
• A blow to the solar plexus will disrupt the opponent's breathing rhythm.
• Also, a blow to the chin will help fight off the attacker. It affects the cerebellum and unsettles the enemy.

Be sure to talk to your daughter about self-defense. And in his free time, dad can work out basic blows with her, show where and how to be. Such activities may not be useful to her in life, but they will not be superfluous for sure.

Self defense for girls and women- a section for women concerned about their own safety and men concerned about the safety of their girlfriends. Main difficulty self defense for women, and, at the same time, its difference from any kind of martial arts or hand-to-hand combat in the total physical superiority of a potential enemy. In 9 cases out of 10, an attempt to fight a man will end in a few seconds in a deplorable way for a woman. No matter how indignant some feminized persons are, and no matter what most courses on self defense for girls and women, the basic rule will be as follows: a woman cannot fight on equal terms with a man.

Unfortunately, most of the methods self defense for girls come down to blows to the groin, eyes and other weak areas. With all due respect to these attempts, they do not take into account female psychology - not every woman is ready to drive her nails into a man's eyes. In addition, at the moment of aggression, a woman will be in a state of stress, when it is very difficult to make such precise movements as a blow to the eyes or groin.

Before applying any self-defense techniques and techniques, women and girls need to learn how to minimize conflict at the inception stage. There is a clear pattern that needs to be learned: the conflict is sudden only for the victim. This is the law. The aggressor is always looking for a victim, chooses and plans the conflict in advance. If a woman saw that someone "laid her eyes" on her and was able to understand what was happening - there is no surprise effect, and there is a high probability that they will not get involved. Prevention is the ability to see everything, control everything that happens around, constantly observe others, but not as potential aggressors, but simply look at the world. A girl who rushes into a fight at any appeal on the street is already a mental deviation. People are different, men are different too.

If it was not possible to avoid the conflict, girls and women should not immediately try to hit a man with a blow from the arsenal self defense for women. While the girl is molested, she remains a girl in the eyes of the aggressor. Having hit a man, she can move into the category of an opponent who is being beaten, and here the woman will not find it enough (see above). Therefore, the first necessary tricks are the ability to free yourself from the grip with which they are trying to detain her. If it didn’t work out, then you can apply simple, but taking into account female physiology, blows. Don't try to punch! A woman's wrist will still not withstand the load and a blow will not bring noticeable harm to a man, but it can make him angry. Women are much better at elbows and knees, especially since they will have to defend themselves at close range. Also, a palm strike can serve well, especially if a woman knows how to put body weight into a blow. Naturally, all these movements should be worked out to automatism, since in a situation of conflict, remember that there is an instructor in training for self defense for girls showed it still didn't work.

In existing systems self defense for girls and women very rarely wonder what to do if a woman is thrown to the floor or to the ground. After all, raping a girl while standing is somehow not very convenient. We analyze this topic in detail, including how to turn your knees in a man and let the most powerful thing that a woman has into action. No, it's not charm, it's legs. Although in such a situation it would be good for a woman to have practice and the ability to move in the stalls, that is, when a weight that exceeds her is leaning on her from above.

We are often asked the question: do we have special groups self defense for girls and women? No, and not at all because the women in the halls are a fickle contingent. Against whom will a woman use her self-defense skills? That's right, against a man. And on whom will a woman work out tricks in the women's group? On a woman. Well, how will she then transfer these skills to a situation of real conflict? In general, training in a predominantly male section of hand-to-hand combat is very useful for a woman, since only there she can run self-defense techniques to automatism on men, tighten her sports uniform, and brighten up a boring male team is also not unimportant.

In the modern world, people experience constant stress - technological progress, the fast pace of life, the unstable situation at home, at work and in the world. Every person faces such conditions every day, and in order to correspond to the environment, it is necessary to change and improve yourself.

It is especially difficult in this ever-changing world for a woman, as double requirements began to be placed on her - to be not only a good wife and mother, but also a successful woman in her career. In order to organize yourself spiritually and feel confident, the Krav Maga school offers a self-defense course for girls.

Why does a woman need self-defense courses?

In the conditions of a big city, a lot of dangers lie in wait for us - night metro, taxis, parking lots and dark alleys - such trips home are usually accompanied by stress. How often did you run home at a late hour, catch your breath and say to yourself: “Thank God, I finally got there”? And this is no accident, because we constantly hear about attacks for the purpose of robbery, on the streets and in the entrances of houses. Women are especially vulnerable in such situations, since they are physically much weaker than male opponents.

Ashita School, in Moscow, offers self-defense courses for girls to help get rid of unnecessary stress and gain confidence. The women's self-defense course is aimed at ensuring that you can protect yourself both at home and on the street. In the classroom, we play with different situations, use role-playing games, tactical exercises.

Women's self-defense in our Krav Maga School is designed to develop skills of agility rather than strength.

Krav Maga for women was developed by Israeli specialists who have extensive experience in teaching self-defense techniques. The entire course "women's self-defense" is based on the choice of simple but effective techniques of various martial arts. A variety of striking skills and techniques aimed at liberation will show the result and give an advantage over the enemy. In a very short time, you will learn to quickly assess the situation and correctly apply self-defense techniques.

Coaches of the Krav Maga Ashita school believe that every woman should have minimum self-defense skills, since no one is immune from getting into unpleasant situations. In an extreme situation, you must be able to protect yourself, your children and relatives, and for this you will not need years of training. The course "Krav Maga for Women" (female self-defense) will help you feel stronger and more confident from the very first training!
