Women's Self Defense

Did you know that the majority of attacks on women a by someone they know. Most attacks are preceded by some sort of verbal exchange and surprise attacks on women are usually entered from behind or to the side of you?

Most of what you are taught in standard Women's Self Defense Classes is impractical and useless for todays streets. I don't mean to shock you, but it's seriously true. Did you know that there is a huge difference between Sport Fighting, Traditional Martial Arts and Real Self Defense?

Traditional Martial Arts like Tai Chi, Tai Kwon Do, Kendo, Wushu..... are steeped in tradition, history and form. In these beautiful styles the focus is to respect and continue the traditions of the original arts. Many of these date back thousands of years. They are beautiful, have some great self defense but neglect the reality of todays streets.

So what happens with these arts when street tools like knives, guns, and multiple attackers come into play. It changes everything. In JSK Women's Self Defense, we deal with the realities of the violence of todays streets. In a self defense situation your goal is not to go to the ground whenever possible. If you are taken to the ground you should be doing everything possible to get back to your feet. Ground fighting is often a mislead. If your attacker is much larger, heavier or even scarier... trained, you will find yourself in serious trouble unless you've put in years of training yourself. High kicking and deep stance arts have similar problems in that size, training and years of practice are needed to be able to use these against a highly aggressive attack. It's a shame that so many unsuspecting women and girls are poorly trained by these "Stop and Kick" self defense systems that leave girls totally clueless, falsely confident and absolutely unprepared for a real attacker.

Jing Shen Kuoshu is a Martial Science. That means that we are always evolving with the times. Yes we do use and study techniques from both sport and traditional martial arts. JSK has a "Love/Hate" relationship with Sport Fighting and Traditional Martial Arts in relation to Self Defense. Sport Fighting toughens you up, teaches you how to deal with adrenaline, and trains you to both take a good strike and deliver powerful attacks. Traditional Martial Arts offer some time tested techniques and principles that have proven effective for centuries and still remain solid today.
