Self Defense Classes Peabody MA

Self Defense for Women and Men through Martial Arts 
written by: Master McCorry

 


Everyday, the newspaper reaches our homes with the shocking news of crimes
and assaults. Sadly, these are our realities in today's world. The society
has become so insensitive to violence that even the news fails to shock us
any more. However, when there is a chance of ourselves becoming a victim,
we start dreading. According to the data collected by Neighborhood Scouts,
Massachusetts alone reported 184,458 crimes during the last one year, out
of which 30,553 were violent crimes. The state reported 210 murders and
1,745 rapes. This shocking study further reveals that your chance of
becoming a victim is 1 in 214 in Massachusetts. Men and women are equally
prone to this violence.   

This is not only the case of Massachusetts, but also other societies.
Completely eradicating such crimes is still a distant dream for most
governments. What we can do from our part is to be always on alert and
always prepared to defend ourselves. But, at the same time, we must also go
about living our lives happy and without worry.

Self-Defense and Martial Arts
Preparing ourselves does not mean buying a pepper spray. Of course, a
pepper spray can be effective, but to be constantly on alert, you need
something more, something like a proper defense technique. Martial arts can
be one such technique. 

Let us take a look at how various martial arts can be useful in self defense for 

men and women.

· Kickboxing moves like kicking, punching and kneeing are so quick-paced
that they will help you to attack the enemy even before he/she realizes
what is happening. Kickboxing uses a technique called combat qi, which will
prevent you from feeling pain even if you get hit.

· Karate moves teach you how to dodge or deflect an attacker and then
fight back.

· Aikido helps you to remain invulnerable to any sort of attack and then
hit back, making the attacker vulnerable.

· Kung Fu teaches you different defense methods like centerline defense.
The signature punches in Kung Fu help you to apply as much as 300 pounds of
force to the opponent’s body at once.

· Jiu-Jitsu bases its defense technique on the concept of the center of
gravity. Disrupting the center of gravity of your opponent will help you to
overthrow him/her easily. This works even when the enemy is armed.

· The Keysi Style helps to overpower your attacker without relying upon
kicks and solely relying upon small fast-paced movements.

· Krav Maga improves your hand-eye coordination so intensely that you
become able to defend yourself spontaneously without any second thought.

Other popular martial arts like Tai Chi, Taekwondo, XMA and MMA also help
a lot in self-defense.
