First Instructional Move!

Before we begin learning basic self defense skills and techniques that can make that all-important difference in a physical assault, it is necessary to understand the "first instructional move" is the most important first move to make if assaulted in womens self defense.

If you are being grabbed, do not pull back but move into the attacker.

Moving into close range with the attacker can maximize your strengths and power with the techniques you are about to learn from womens self defense.

The First Instructional Move can be a difficult concept to understand initially in women's self defense; however, it will become clearer as we move through these lessons why this "first move" is so vitally important!

This women's self defense program is not training you to be a karate expert/fighter, and self-defense is not a sport. We are preparing a person to survive an attack in an unregulated setting. Creating enough pain to your attacker can provide the space for you to leave a high-risk situation with the techniques and skills you will learn with the basic self defense moves and partner training program.

When you move into the attacker your body becomes a more effective weapon in terms of both power and speed. We maximize our natural power, force and abilities with CENTER STRENGTH as we move into the attacker.

Self Defense For Life
Center Strength Theory

Now, try holding the same telephone book in close with your arms and elbows up against your chest and notice the difference. You can manage the weight of the telephone book for a longer period of time with much less effort. Moving into an attacker capitalizes on this theory of
Center Strength, as well as doing the unexpected.

The advantage of moving in strengthens you both physically and psychologically. Everyone's natural tendency is to pull away from an attacker, especially if grabbed by the arm. Moving away from the attack gives the attacker an advantage. If the intent of the attacker is to punch you, then moving away puts you at a distance that gives the punch more impact. However, by doing the unexpected (The First Instructional Move) and moving in, you cut off the power of the strike by cutting the distance the arm travels to the target.

When you are in close quarters to the attacker you can use your body as a more effective weapon. The attacker's size, strength, speed or condition will be minimized with the physical skills and techniques of basic self defense you are about to learn. The best part of all these women's self defense lessons is that you don't have to be in good physical condition to be effective!first instructional move,basic self defense moves, ultimate basic self defense, basic bruce lee move

Surprise and Ability
The two elements that can change an assault/attack situation in your favor fast are surprise and ability. These elements will prevail over size, strength, and conditioning to make the critical difference in removing yourself from a dangerous situation.

Prevention is where a good self-defense program concentrates most of the effort. Learning to avoid any physical action is the best defense.

When physical contact is unavoidable the mental mindset is now offense. The old saying, "the best defense is an offense" holds true when your health or life is in the balance.

For example, in a "defense" situation, the attacker is controlling the action while the person being attacked is in the position of trying to defend themselves. Turning the situation around from being attacked to being the attacker is the goal of women's self defense.

Escaping the assault means controlling the moment or action. The means to power this strategy of surprise and ability is within all of us, and the way to begin is to study and practice the offensive techniques and drills found throughout this program.

The First Instructional Move will capitalize on this strategy.first instructional move,basic self defense moves, ultimate basic self defense, basic bruce lee move
