Self-defence encompasses many schools of thought
Knowing how to defend yourself in case it is needed is a good feeling. But the concept of self-defence is broad and includes many schools of thought.
Before you pay for self-defence classes, there are some things you should know that will help you in the long run.

The general self-defence class
Much of the general self-defence curriculum attempts to teach students how to recognise the signs of risky situations that may not be inherently obvious.
Learning how to de-escalate threats and avoid potential danger without compromising your safety is a remarkable skill. However, a program can point out what usually works best, but each situation is unique, and the best decision rests with the individual.

Choosing a self-defence course or martial arts instructor
Many martial arts fakers teach unrealistic and often foolish techniques. For example, it's good to learn how to knee an assailant in the groin, but it becomes instantly dangerous if they claim that these techniques can equip you with the skill to overcome multiple attackers.
You should be aware in what discipline your instructor trained. You want to take a self-defence course at a martial arts school that offers instruction in a specific discipline.

Understand your own training goals
The goal of being prepared for self-defence is different from training in a specific martial art. Yet, learning a particular style might equip you to apply your skills if necessary.
Practical experience or years of training in a specific self-defence style, whether it's Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, karate, etc., is the best way to become prepared for a dangerous situation.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
