Changing Lives: How Martial Arts Foster Character Development and Personal Growth
Self-defence classes for adults teach a range of techniques designed to enhance personal safety and confidence. These typically include basic strikes like punches, kicks, and knee strikes, as well as defensive moves to block or evade attacks. Participants learn escape techniques, such as breaking free from grabs or holds, and practical methods to use an attacker’s strength against them. Classes often cover situational awareness and verbal de-escalation skills to avoid confrontation. Advanced sessions may include weapon defence and techniques inspired by martial arts like Krav Maga or Jiu-Jitsu. These skills help adults stay prepared and confident in real-life scenarios.
