Women's Self-Defense & Empowerment Course - O'ahu

1162 Bishop St #200, Honolulu, HI 96813

 

Girls Must attended all 4 Self Defence Sessions: February 7th,14th, 21st and 28th. 

Through this course, Girl Scouts will learn how to:

  • Be more aware of their surroundings (noting potential danger through environment, energy, and body language of those around them)
  • How to protect themselves from varying ranges of close quarter, mid-range, and long range using striking arts such as Jun Fan Gung Fu, Muay thai, Boxing, Wingchun (trapping)
  • How to use everyday objects (such as an umbrella, water bottle, keys, etc.) as a weapon in order to create distance and time to be able to escape to safety and get help
  • Gain self-confidence to trust and build their own instinct and speak up when necessary. 

 

There are simple self-defense tactics that so often are not taught right off the bat when learning certain martial arts. Jeet Kune Do focuses on self-defense for "the street" as well as adaptation of the curriculum for more up-to-date tactics and strategies. This will allow any student to understand how to protect themselves in today's world and situation. 

 

  • Jeet Kune Do teaches you how to build each other up as a team rather than tear each other down. 
  • It teaches you the confidence to keep your cool even if someone is coming at you with any kind of physical or emotional aggression.
  • It gives you the tools to be able to handle both of those situations as well and with efficiency and knowledge.
  • It gives perspective on what damage violence can actually cause, but how to determine when that is necessary before it comes to you. 
  • It teaches you to be the decider of your own destiny and that every choice we make has a reaction. It also teaches you that you can only control how YOU react to any given situation, and how to navigate that with more ease and comfort. 
  • Jeet Kune Do and incredible array of martial arts it incorporates to be limitless, teaches you how to be calm and comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
