Women’s self-defense as instructed by Tedd O’Neill and Vince Kasaba combines elements from both traditional Okinawan Karate and the Russian Martial Arts System, Systema. Awareness and confidence are the first requirements for effective self-defense and this instruction delivers solidly in those areas: a woman’s confidence and knowledge that she can perform when needed is crucial to surviving a conflict. We enable a woman’s ability to defend herself.
Our training allows a woman to know how to strike, kick and defend herself more effectively.
This is a course; it is not meant to be a one-time training: Knowledge and Confidence develop and deepen over time. Over time a woman will be able to learn how to better to defend herself in the occurrence of an attack. Forewarned is forearmed: we prepare women with effective strategies to defend themselves, even in unique situations. Our mission is to enable all of our students to be prepared to take action, if they ever need to.
We offer a safe space for women to go and learn without men around. It’s a nice, semi-private instruction time to work out all the issues around overcoming force without the aggression of the standard testosterone-fueled self-defense studio. The course costs are $60 a month, or $20 for a trial class as may be desired.
Having taught self-defense for decades we believe this “on-going” style is the best approach; we find that even for students who must miss the occasion class, being enrolled and engaged on an on-going basis allows students to keep their heads in the game. Fear not the class; It’s Fun! Everyone has a blast: lots of laughs and fun accompany solid teachings. You will have greater awareness, while learning from situations involving escapes, multiple opponents, striking, ground-work, falling, weapons and more while getting healthier throughout the learning process.
