Self Defence just for You

With experience that includes personal safety training in countries all around the world, we believe we offer some of the most useful and effective self-defence courses available today. Our training is designed to benefit men, women and children, providing easy to remember techniques that could save your life without requiring any martial arts or enhanced physical fitness.

Everyone should have the right to feel safe but many people admit that they wouldn't have a clue what to do if they were physically attacked. Whether it is a street theft with violence or a sexual assault; protection begins with an awareness of risk, and following some simple rules to minimise the danger. If an assault takes place, knowing how to fight back effectively can make the difference between breaking free and the attack continuing, with common statistics showing that 80% of those who fight back will get out of the situation and with our self-defence training you'll develop the skills you need to greatly reduce the chances of serious injury, rape or even death. As ominous as it sounds, people die every day in this country as a result of not knowing how to react to a violent attacker; it's our goal to give attendees the tools they need to protect themselves.

We focus on practical methods of empowerment from avoidance and awareness to vocal diffusion techniques, followed by simple, effective methods to get out of a situation and break an attack. Our personal safety courses lead to increased self-confidence and a level of capability you might not have previously thought possible and you won't need to study for years to master them!

Kickboxing and Karate are fantastic activities for females of all ages to enjoy, although it can traditionally (and wrongly) be known as a male dominated martial arts.

Kickboxing and karate training for women has it all, fitness, flexibility, toning, stamina and of course learning some vital self-defence skills along the way!
So many of our students have started training with us as they had joined gyms or health clubs only to find themselves bored and demotivated after only a few sessions.
Things are different at Mosman Martial Arts Academy.

Our classes are energizing, powerful and uplifting!

It is valuable to women in helping them understand how to protect themselves in their everyday lives and is very practical for women and girls of all ages for self-defence; which in turn will greatly increase their self esteem and confidence.

An average session will burn as many calories as a keep fit workout, kickboxing lesson or circuit's class. It is also great for reducing stress and tension, due to the intensity of the workouts and having the chance to glove up and hit some pads.

The ladies who train with us will also tell you that sparring can be good fun and another great way to get rid of any worries daily life may bring.

You'll finish every lesson feeling a sense of huge satisfaction, elation and be totally reinvigorated, yet know you've been pushed and challenged.

Because none of the karate techniques we practise require great muscular strength, it means that it is an ideal martial art for females to practise. Also, because the genetic make up of a woman's body naturally gives them more flexible hips and fluidity than their male counterparts, women can become adept at karate very quickly.

In summary, any woman who takes up karate will learn a superb means of self-preservation, meet new friends and find it is fun, but while also bettering their health and general levels of fitness.

A really enjoyable course for women

Martial arts are not just about strength and size, but also speed, control, and mental discipline which females have plenty of. Women absorb lessons better, because they are not burdened with the pressure of kicking ass, or beating opponents, like men do. To women martial artists, practice sessions are learning opportunities and not competitive arenas to lord over. Please do come along to our classes as you will be made most welcome and you will be well looked after.

Looking forward to meeting you!

"I think Karate is much better for women than going to the gym or dieting and it is so good for confidence, fitness and also self defence. Socially it is better than many other sports; you should really just give it a try, so what are you waiting for... go for it!"
Olivia

"I was really pleased to find many other females at the classes and that there is no age limit, so nobody thinks you're a joke!! The classes are carefully controlled and monitored; beginners are really well looked after and introduced very slowly to the different aspects of karate, such as sparring, pair-work and co-ordination skills."
