Urban Warrior Women’s Self-Defense | Aug 10

How do you make sure not to get attacked?
How do you recognize a potential aggressor?
How does a person overcome stronger and aggressive attackers?
Real life self-defense is about stopping an attack by disabling your attacker using simple and effective techniques. Attending a Women’s self-defense workshop periodically is a good way of staying sharp, gaining confidence and feeling fabulous!
The paradox of women’s self-defense is that the more prepared you are, the less likely you are to need it. When you can recognize and respond effectively to potentially dangerous situations, you are more confident in your every day activities – and therefore less likely to become a target of crime.
Ali Siadatan; creator of the Urban Warrior Women’s Self-Defense program at Wu Xing martial arts studios will lead this 2-hour fun & interactive workshop where he will explore 7 common self-defense situations to equip you with practical solutions and arm you with knowledge so you can have peace of mind.
History
In 1701 a Buddhist nun by the name of Ng Mui created a system of Kung Fu in China. Watching a snake and crane fight inspired her. As the snake attacked with direct, straight attacks, the crane responded with evasive movements. The style of self-defense that she created is very effective and today it has become the most practiced style of Kung Fu in the world.
Wu Xing martial arts studios in downtown Toronto has adopted the fighting principles of Ng Mui’s Kung Fu to meet the needs of modern urban women.
Attackers look for easy prey. We will look at body language and how to project the “posture of confidence”.
- You will learn to read the body language of a potential attacker.
- You will learn techniques that turn the strength of the attacker against him.
- You will learn the location of pressure points and vulnerable areas in the body.
“After the workshop, I felt equipped with essential knowledge and simple techniques that may ultimately save me from dangerous situations in the future. I believe I owe it to myself to know how to defend myself in circumstances when I’m not the one in control. I have been in many situations when these techniques could’ve come handy. I urge young teens and adults alike to be in charge of what really matters, your safety and well-being.” – Donna Santos (PFW member)
