Learn more about self defense

Self-defense is the practice of protecting oneself from physical harm or danger through various techniques, skills, and strategies. It involves learning how to recognize threats, avoid dangerous situations, and respond effectively if confronted. Self-defense can include physical methods such as striking, blocking, escaping holds, and using an attacker’s force against them, as well as non-physical tactics like verbal de-escalation and awareness training. Many people take self-defense classes to build confidence, improve fitness, and develop quick reflexes. Beyond personal safety, self-defense empowers individuals to feel more secure in everyday life and can be adapted to suit different ages, abilities, and environments.
