Anta's Krav Maga Women Self Defense Workshop on May 16, so you can walk in peace. Why should you attend this FREE Workshop? Because as a women you are becoming an endangered species.
More than seventy percent of women in America encounter a violent crime within her life time. Every nine seconds a woman is battered. One out of every eight women currently living in the US has been a rape victim. Each day approximately three thousand women report that they have been victims of some force aggression. Have I gotten your attention yet? Yes, as a woman you could become an endangered species. The truth of the matter is that your safety is your responsibility, not your knight in shinning Armor (husband, boy friend or brother), the government, your association or the security guards. Remember you are not always in the presence of your knight and by the time the police arrive it might be too late. So what can a woman do not to be a statistic?
The answer lies in this African proverb. Every morning a lion wakes up and chases a gazelle across the plain. The lion never goes after the swiftest, strongest gazelle. The lion doesn’t want the challenge, the lion wants a meal. So the lion picks the slowest and weakest. When the criminal goes out in search of a victim he doesn’t want a challenge he wants the easy prey. Your answer is Krav Maga which is the quickest and easiest way to learn to protect yourself.
As a corrections officer (I worked in a state prison for over 10 years), Krav Maga instructor and through years of research, I’ve discovered 3 things that the bad guy does not want to happen.
1) He doesn’t want to be physically defeated by the victim.
2) He doesn’t want the victim to identify him.
3) He doesn’t want to be caught by the police.
He picks on women that he perceives to be easy victims. It’s not how tough you really are but how tough he perceives you are. To accomplish this goal you must learn verbal and physical self defense as a confidence builder. You must learn to walk like a predator and not like prey. You most learn to project your voice in what we call a bad dog attitude. You must learn to turn fear into power. You most be aware of your surroundings at all times. Yet your main weapon is the simple element of surprise.
Reading this article or books on self defense will not teach you to defend yourself. It can however point you in the right direction which is Anta’s FREE Women Self Defense Workshop on May, 16.
You most become the fastest gazelle not a victim of crime! By the way I forgot to mention that the predator in that African proverb is a female lion. Our motto at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense is “Turning Lambs into Lions since 1998!”
