There are many ways for women to defend themselves. In the last five years or so self-defense products have become an integral part of self-defense for women. Items such as stun guns, pepper sprays and tasers are all very effective when it comes to self-defense. That’s why they’re so popular-they work and provide a non-lethal means of self-defense.
Self-defense products should only be part of a self-defense strategy. Learning some basic self-defense techniques must be the foundation of that strategy. A self-defense course is the best way to learn those techniques. And there are hundreds of instructors out there in your local city. You have no idea what their background is. And while they are all well-meaning and probably have your best interest at heart, does it make sense to learn potentially life-saving skills from a full-time barber who happens to know self-defense techniques?
Paul Vunak is one of the most highly regarded instructors of self-defense in the world. He teaches Navy SEALs, FBI, CIA and Police Department SWAT teams. His instructional DVD is one of the best fighting videos ever made especially for women
He teaches the eight basic tools of Jeet Kune Do, which has been defined as “The system works on the use of different ‘tools’ for different situations. These situations are broken down into ranges (Kicking, Punching, Trapping and Grappling), with techniques flowing smoothly between them. It is referred to as a style without style.”
Jeet Kune Do was developed by famous martial artist Bruce Lee who believed that a fight was a spontaneous event, and couldn’t be predicted-only reacted to. Consequently, he taught his students to move fluidly without hesitation “like water.”
In the DVD, Vunak teaches these eight principles in a clear, concise, easy-to-learn way. They are specifically designed for people who have no previous fighting experience. It is the closest thing to an organized way to defend yourself in almost any situation that you might encounter in a street fight. It is highly effective for teaching women self-defense principles.
There is another instructional DVD specifically designed for women by Kimber Johnson. It is a one-hour self-defense course that teaches women how to defend themselves against predators and rape specifically. It has techniques to use against hair pulling, choking and being pinned down. It teaches real life scenarios on how to deal with drunks and how to determine the precursors of a real assault. It is based on her real life experience of being raped, despite her years of martial arts training.
The training DVD called Street Safe by Paul Vunak teaches the eight principles of Jeet Kune Do and is great for women.
The self-defense course Women’s Combat by Kimber Johnson is one of a few designed specifically for women.
