Self Defence For Women at Wing Tsun

Did you know that Wing Tsun was created by a woman?

Wing Tsun Facts:

• Created 250 years ago by a Shaolin nun, the idea remains the same: an intelligent system beats brute force
• Wing Tsun is not about performing “beautiful’ techniques – effectiveness is most important
• Wing Tsun is self defence in its purest form.
• Wing Tsun puts you in control!

A complete self-defence system which:

• Starts with increased awareness and confidence,
• Provides easy ways to set and protect your boundaries and,
• Teaches realistic Wing Tsun techniques as a ‘last resort’ back-up.

Anybody Can Learn Wing Tsun because:

• The system uses natural movements and no pre-acquired, basic knowledge is necessary.
• Wing Tsun students develop a new feeling for 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 Wing Tsun techniques are used to provide conflict solutions.
• As a Blitz-Defence student, you will learn optimal use of your body to defend yourself against stronger people.
• You will also learn how to relax and use the power of an attack against the attacker.
• Stress release through training will provide further health benefits.

What you will learn

To Listen to Your Intuition

Many people don’t know about their inbuilt warning system which warns of the threat of dangerous situations: Intuition. All too often a conservative upbringing may stop one from being “rude” in uncomfortable situations. Blitz-Defence teaches, however, that intuition should always be trusted. It is the perfect adviser and the perfect frontline defence against danger.

Being “switched on” to your surroundings and being aware of your situation is one of the most important factors for your personal safety. Wing Tsun will teach you simple techniques of awareness and avoidance. With an increased awareness and confidence, your sense of security will automatically increase also.

To Set & Protect Your Boundaries

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.

By setting your boundaries you make it much more likely to never get into a self defence or even “uncomfortable” situation in the first place. And you will also learn a surprisingly simple way to protect your boundaries if need be.

Blitz-Defence

Originally created for police special forces in Germany, Blitz-Defence for women is a matter of tuning into the senses. If the senses send danger warnings, the next step of the concept follows automatically: Direct speech and body language are used to dissolve the problem at the outset. Only when those measures don’t help are Wing Tsun techniques used to end the conflict swiftly and efficiently.

Styles that involve power become useless to women when they’re pitted against bigger, stronger men. Wing Tsun was designed by a woman, and will teach you how to disable your attacker without the use of strength.

- How to have a great workout

Many of our students see the self-defence benefits more as an added benefit. They just want to get a good, interesting workout, because the gym is too boring for them. At the same time you train reflexes and reaction times, learn to relax and improve your health and co-ordination.

How Wing Tsun differs for Women

The techniques themselves are exactly the same.

The mental approach and the aggressiveness however is what’s different for women.

Where men need to back down and not show aggressiveness and force, women need to become more aggressive so they are not perceived as victims by an attacker.

This is a psychological approach that is geared to minimizing the chances of an attack ever eventuation, as most cases the attacker will back off when they realize the woman is not the easiest of targets they would normally expect. Wing Tsun will help women.
