Here at Focused Solutions Consulting LLC we believe in empowering ourselves and others. Here is a link to a great article referring to a recent and relevant study about how learning self-defense skills can help women empower themselves and if needed, defend themselves against assault. Learning proper self-defense skills builds confidence, helps women walk more confidently and thus also changes how we walk and interact with others – with confidence. Also, proper self-defense training will help practitioners learn to be aware of their surroundings and also helps those who learn those skills to think about other people’s body language. So, besides the obvious benefits to physical fitness, learning self-defense might also safe your life, or someone else’s.
