Self defense for women

[andrewsmith]

Although there is now some doubt as to whether Wing Chun was actually founded by a woman, there is no doubt that it is an ideal martial art for women to practice. Perhaps you have walked down a dark street late one night and suddenly found yourself being followed by a strange man. You start wondering what he wants money or worse. You want to get out of the situation as quickly as possible so you begin to walk faster. So does he. Suddenly he grabs your shoulder. What do you do? Most likely you would be unable to do anything because you are not used to coping with this kind of situation. There are many threatening situations in which women can find themselves. It could happen suddenly, even in your own home. What can you do to defend yourself? People always think of women as being weaker than men, but if a woman knows some self-defense, she can develop confidence and improve her personal safety. Wing Chun skill teaches you how to use the least amount of energy to defend yourself and how to keep a good position in which you can attack an enemy’s weaker areas or acupuncture points. Everyone, no matter how strong, has weak areas that are easy to strike. Attacking these points can make a person lose power and even collapse.
