5 Reasons Women Are Taking Self-Defense Classes

Updated: Mar 5



Woman Practicing Self Defense




Reason 1: Self-Determination (Empowerment)


Women who take self-defense classes feel empowered. Being empowered has a positive impact on their lives. Not only do they acquire physical and mental skills, but they also develop the confidence and resilience to face any challenging situation.


Reason 2: Independence (Freedom)


Women want to be able to live their lives freely and without restrictions. The ability to protect themselves gives them that freedom. And in our community where patriarchy remains prevalent, it raises much needed consciousness.

Reason 3: Awareness


Have you ever noticed individuals strolling down the street, completely absorbed in their phones? Unfortunately, this type of behavior makes them an easy target for crime. Women who take self-defense classes learn to be present in the moment. Being present in the moment can prevent violence before it takes place.


Reason 4: Readiness


Women participating in self defense classes learn a variety of countermeasures they can use to defend their boundaries. They know a simple display of self-confidence through body language or a positive, unafraid attitude can make a significant difference. They know that learning how to respond effectively in threatening situations can even stop a violent act from happening.

Reason 5: Sound Intuition


The difference between becoming a victim or a victor often depends on an individuals ability to read any given situation. Self defense classes teach women the importance of listening to and knowing how to react without fear to their innate warning flags. Women learn how to trust their gut instincts to distinguish whether or not they are in danger.


Women are taking self defense classes to become strong, self-reliant, situationally aware, intuitive, and to be ready to defend themselves from any threat, whether it be physical, psychological, or emotional.
