Womens self defense classes are well sought after. Self-defense is a critical skill for everyone to learn, regardless of gender. However, women, in particular, are more vulnerable to various forms of violence and abuse, making it all the more important for them to learn how to defend themselves. One of the most effective ways for women to train in self-defense is to attend a mixed-gender class where they can train with men.
Martial arts usually have traditional and historical roots with an aspect of spirituality thrown in. There are also rules, regulations and competitions. Krav Maga is different. Firstly, it’s not classed as a martial art. It’s an Israeli self-defence technique designed for the street. There are no sporting rules and there is no letting up until you are safely away or your attacker is incapacitated.
At the Bristol Titans Krav Maga Academy we don’t offer completely womens only classes. Statistically women have a greater chance of being attacked by a male than a female and we believe that Krav Maga training should reflect real life where possible and so our classes are mixed. This gives the student the opportunity to train with people of all shapes and sizes, and to become accustomed to training with and alongside different genders.
Having trained thousands of people in Krav Maga, we do understand that people need to feel comfortable when training and so we offer Womens Only Krav Maga Workshops which are a great opportunity for the student to train alongside a womens only peer group which can act as a standalone training session, an update on previous skills or as a way to build confidence to joining our mixed class.
