Ladies Self-Defence Classes

Grandmaster Loke is happy to announce the launch of a new course of Ladies Self Defence classes based at HQ. These are classes that have been especially designed for women and girls from 11 years of age who want to learn self defence but might find our formal Tang Sou Dao classes daunting. The purpose of the self defence classes is to teach women practical, effective street self defence, involving moves and techniques which have wide ranging practical application.

It will not be necessary to have martial arts experience or any kind of training experience at all as these classes are distinct from Tang Sou Dao. There is some overlap as students will learn to develop their flexibility, fitness and reflexes; however these new self defence lessons will not demand the stamina or technicality required of the normal Tang Sou Dao classes.

Grandmaster Loke's primary aim in launching these classes is to show women the most efficient and realistic way in which to escape from street attackers and to learn counter attacks where necessary.

The course is designed so that while all women of all levels of fitness will be able to follow these new self defence classes, there will also be benefits for all students. Effective self defence can only be achieved by quick thinking and common sense combined with functional efficient techniques. This requires determination and practice; however the aim is also to have fun and enjoy social interaction along the way. Women will benefit from the physical and mental challenges offered by the new self defence classes and more importantly learn crucial skills that could end up saving their lives. It is hoped that attending self defence classes will inspire and encourage women to also join our Tang Sou Dao classes to further develop their strength, speed and technical abilities.
