Assault Prompts Self Defense Seminar

A self defense seminar is being offered by Body Balance Academy after a woman was sexually assaulted after opening her business in the Seven Hills District of Nevada City earlier this month.

The one day seminar has been designed to educate individuals of all ages the necessary skills in order for them to protect themselves when they most require it. In today’s society everyone lives in constant fear of their safety. Whether it’s fear from an attack as we walk down the street, or we are victimized while walking to our cars, or in our own homes, for many there is danger lurking in every corner.

As a result of this there are many people looking for ways in which they can improve their safety. Maybe you’re small in size, or you present yourself as lacking confidence while walking down the street, or you are simply unaware to what is going on around you, these will be the things that potential threats look out for.

However, there are ways in which an individual can turn these factors around and in some instances utilize them to their advantage. For instance, even though a person may look small enough for an attacker to take advantage of, they won’t expect you to fight back and will subsequently be surprised when you do.

When it comes to learning self defense those wanting to either learn new skills or to improve on skills they already know are given the opportunity to do so. This provides the perfect stepping stone to reclaiming back your self esteem while also gaining knowledge on the art of marital arts.

However, for those thinking that it will take more than one class to learn how to protect yourself, that’s not true. From the very first defense class you will find that at the end you will know basic skills that are aimed at protecting you.

This of course is what people need and want. If you weren’t able to learn anything from day one then no one would attend the self defense classes. But simply knowing how to defend yourself will ultimately mean that if you need to utilize those skills further down the line you will be confident in knowing what to do, in addition to escaping from further harm.
