On February 11, 2018 we held a special personal safety / self defense seminar for the UCSD Pi Beta Phi sisterhood in our San Diego martial arts training center in Carmel Valley.
What a fun and energetic group!
We covered many self protection topics, including the following:
- Awareness, its importance for personal safety and how to develop it
- Escape: how to escape from situations before they turn bad
- De-escalation techniques (verbal and physical) and how to be assertive
- Fighting: how to hit with good power, what to hit, and how to defend yourself on your feet as well as on the ground
Keep practicing!!!
Here are some excerpts from the seminar:
Hi Brian Sensei! Your blog is a great read!
I started Taekwondo last year age 40 after participating in a self defence class my son’s club ran.
It’s seriously changed my life!
After earning a living as a writer for more than 20 years I have just recently decided to start blogging about my new-found love for Taekwondo.
I’ll look forward to checking in on yours from time to time.
Warm regards
Kristy (aka The Mortal Mouse)
Best of luck in your martial arts training, Kristy!
Thanks so much. I only wish I had discovered it earlier. 🙂
