Martial Arts Six Week Program Challenges Dangerous Times for Women
PRWEB
Martial Arts Moves, Common Sense Help Protect Women From Crimes in this six week hands on course.
Auburn, MA (PRWEB) August 28, 2004 -- McCoy's Action Karate is holding self defense classes this fall to educate and empower women in these dangerous times. Each 6 week course is designed to be easy to learn, effective, and informative. Students can expect to learn physical skills that they will leave fully confident in using and they will also be taught the best ways to avoid the danger to begin with. The Auburn school starts its program Monday September 20th and the Spencer School starts its program Monday October 4th. The class is constructed for adult women, but teenagers are invited if they attend with an adult family member.
“We have designed and run women’s self-defense programs that in 6 weeks have given those who have attended a sharp edge in personal safety,” says Anne McCoy, one of the owners of McCoy's Action Karate. “This program uses a martial arts system called Krav Maga, which is designed to give those taking the class a basic, intuitive and effective self defense ability in a very short time, while at the same time educating them about how to avoid dangerous situations that might involve violence to begin with,” she says.
Those who attend will not only receive hands on instruction with intuitive and easy to learn self defense, they will get an opportunity to see that it works on McCoy's Action Karate instructors wearing technical training safety gear. They will also receive a booklet that describes the environments of violence in our country, and how to avoid them, as well as statistical data describing activities and areas to avoid. The classes are an hour to an hour and a half long, and have the added benefit of increasing your fitness level even in the short six week period. “Women who have taken this martial arts class have come away with a sense of increased safety and power from the physical skills they learned and performed, but they also learned enough about prevention to have a significant increase in their ability to avoid as well as defend an attack. This is one of the most worthwhile programs we have ever done,” McCoy says.
