Self-defense is the act of defending oneself, one's property, or the well-being of another from harm. It can take many forms, including physical, verbal, and psychological tactics.

There are many health benefits to learning self-defense, including:

  • Increased physical fitness: Self-defense classes often involve a combination of cardio and strength training, which can improve overall fitness and physical health.
  • Improved mental health: Learning self-defense can boost self-confidence and reduce feelings of anxiety and fear. It can also provide a sense of empowerment and control over one's own safety.
  • Stress relief: Physical activity, such as the training involved in self-defense classes, is a proven way to reduce stress and tension.
  • Better body mechanics: Self-defense techniques often focus on proper body mechanics, which can lead to improved posture and reduce the risk of injury.
  • Increased awareness: Self-defense classes teach awareness of one's surroundings, which can help people to stay safe in potentially dangerous situations.
