KCAL News story on Barbara White and Women’s Self Defense
DO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO
DEFEND YOURSELF IN ALL SITUATIONS?
You feel vulnerable and want to defend yourself and your family.
You want an intense workout that builds muscle and increases dexterity.
You want the self-esteem boost that comes with knowing you can fight.
THE DANGERS OF THE WORLD ARE ENDLESS
Learning to defend yourself is about more than simply wielding a weapon. The truth is that amateurs who have weapons end up getting hurt with them more often than predators do – and that’s a real problem. There’s no point in arming yourself if you’re not also in the right condition to be able to act if you or someone you love is threatened.
Self-Defense is popular because it takes self-defense and turns it into an art form.

RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Self-Defense teaches you how to defend yourself by building on your body’s natural reactions to being attacked and giving you the tools – and the strength – to disarm and defeat your opponents. As you train, you’ll build stamina and hone your reflexes until you are a fighting machine.
The focus of this class is to introduce basic self-defense concepts: acceptance, attitude, awareness, intuition, recognizing danger and responding to it, becoming a hard target, and fighting back. The course includes simple techniques that can be used for self-defense, and building an arsenal of tools that the student can take home. Class will include hand-out material, focus pad work, and partner attacks.
DEFEND YOURSELF IN ANY SITUATION
Nobody wants to be the victim of a crime, and yet it happens to people every day. The best way to avoid being harmed is to know how to defend yourself.
Self-Defense training emphasizes teaching students how to react in real-life situations. It’s not theoretical – it’s practical and effective.
You won’t have to worry about figuring out how to translate your Self-Defense training outside of the dojo, because our instructors will help you do it.
Self-Defense Training IS A KILLER WORKOUT
It can be hard to get a great workout without someone to push you. If you want to be a total badass, the treadmill isn’t going to get you there.
Self-Defense training is intense…but FUN! Repetitive kicking and punching burn a ton of calories, and testing to move up a level requires mental and physical toughness. You’ll use every muscle.
Whether you want to lose weight or just get in the best physical shape of your life, Self-Defense training can help you do it.
PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE AT ITS BEST
One of the hardest things about learning self-defense is overcoming your natural instincts to learn new moves.
Self-Defense works with those instincts – such as bringing your hands up to protect your face – and turns them into powerful moves that allow you to defend yourself and drive attackers away.
You’ll learn to use the tools you have and combine them with traditional martial arts and other forms of fighting.
RELIEVE STRESS AND ANXIETY
We all have to deal with stress and anxiety in our lives – from work, family, and everything else. You need to have a healthy outlet for it to stay healthy.
Self-Defense banishes stress by burning it off. When you’re working out, you need to give over your body and mind to the process. There’s no room for worrying.
By the time you’re done working out, you’ll be flooded with endorphins and feeling a serious sense of accomplishment – and your stress will be under control.
