Midwest Center for Movement offers
Self-Defense & Self-Protection classes taught on a session basis
for people of all ages interested in improving their skills in avoiding
and surviving and altercation with an attacker.
Self-defense (Self`-de*fense") (v), n. 1. The act of defending one's own person, property, or reputation.
2. In self-defense (Law), in protection
of self, -- it being permitted in law to a party on whom a grave wrong
is attempted to resist the wrong, even at the peril of the life of the
assailiant. Wharton.
Self-Defense and Self-Protection classes are designed to help all people reduce the likelihood of an assault upon their person.
This proven program has been utilized
by various corporations, universities and private groups to not only
deal with an assault, but to educate so that one does not put themself
in a compromised situation.
Why Self-Defense/Self-Protection/Safety Classes?
Although the terms "self defense" and "martial arts" are often used
interchangeably, in practice there are significant differences between
the two. Traditional martial arts, such as Aikido, Jujutsu, or Karate
are, as the name
implies, primarily arts with the broad goal of making their
practitioners stronger, calmer, and ultimately more gentle and
compassionate people. In the process of training the
practitioner, will of course, become extremely competent in handling an
attacker in the appropriate fashion for their art. But, this
requires time and dedication.
Our Self-Defense/Self-Protection/Safety Classes, on the other hand,
describe a set of attitudes, and verbal and physical skills
that contribute to an individual’s ability to stay safe in dangerous
situations that can be learned quickly and utilized almost immediately. Self-Defense/Self-Protection/Safety uses physical
techniques
which are derived from various martial arts, including Aikido,
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Kempo but the
curriculum of this self defense course will also include other topics
having to do with the patterns and motivations of violent offenders.
Although some training in practical self defense is included in a
traditional martial arts curriculum, it is not the main focus of the
art.
Self-Defense/Self-Protection/Safety Classes offer practical self-defense techniques for people of all ages and lifestyles.
