Men are usually attacked by strangers.
Women suffer violence by someone from within their circle of acquaintance.
Most women are scared to walk through parks, streets, parking lots by themselves at night (and lately even during daylight). The reality is that their everyday life has more potential danger.
Wing Tsun gives women the opportunity to learn in an school that allows them to stay and feel safe, gives them the confidence to workout and practice their skills and techniques, and develope them as needed in a real life situations.
Self-defence starts with small things
The motivation to take a self-defence class is the same for most women: They don’t want to be a victim to the type of aggressor too often seen in news, movies, videos, etc.
There is a lot more to self-defence than simply avoiding physical conflict.
Self-defence means personal defence in all situations, including so-called “harmless”, everyday situations. Defence, for example, against sexist-jokes or repeated interruption when talking. Defence against men who challenge women’s personal boundaries by staring at them or making shameless, or lewd, comments.
Listen to your intuition
Although women possess an early warning system that alerts them to potential danger, many of them don’t know how to react in situations like those mentioned above. Everyone, however, has an inbuilt warning system. It is called intuition and it warns of many things, including critical and dangerous situations. All too often, though, the “logical” brain overrides this system while an ingrained, conservative upbringing may stop a woman from being “rude” in uncomfortable situations. Wing Tsun teaches that intuition should always be heeded. It is an excellent adviser and the perfect frontline defence against danger.
WingTsun — Your Back-up
WingTsun is the only style of kung fu ever created by a woman. It relies on strength of technique rather than physical strength and is naturally ideal for the practice of women.
Anybody can learn Wing Tsun because the system uses natural movements and no pre-acquired, basic knowledge is necessary.
WingTsun students develop a new feeling of their body and the system brings awareness of their inherent strength. Self-esteem is heightened and a deeper sense of security is attained through partner training.
In role-play, perception is increased and WingTsun techniques are used to provide solutions to conflict.
As a Wing Tsun student, you will learn optimal use of your body in defending yourself against stronger/bigger people. You will also learn how to relax and how to use the power of an attack against the attacker. Stress release through training will provide further health benefits.
