With the exponential rise in sexual assault and sexual harassment cases, it is essential and necessary that girls and women learn self-defense to defend themselves.

Self defense is important to me because it helps prepare you for unexpected situations. Self defense also helps develop increased mentally.
I wanted to teach self defense due to school bullying. Self defense/martial arts helps people develop self confidence and self respect.
In taekwondo we learn self defense in both sparring and poomsae (form). In sparring and poomsae we learn how to both block and strike an opponent. This really helped me learn what self defense really was and i encourage everybody to take martial arts.
Self defense is important to me because it is the best way to keep yourself and others safe in a confrontation. Learning how to keep the damage to a minimum but keeping everyone safe is something that is a core value in self defense and martial arts in general.
What got me interested in self defense is the alarming rise in crime especially directed to minorities and women. Thinking of friends and family not being able to protect themselves in a dire situation really motivated me to put myself out there to help others learn self defense.
In TKD you learn self control and self defense, both which tied into what we incorporated in the self defense classes. We believe that learning martial arts is something that everyone should get into so you can keep in shape and learn how to defend yourself.
