Every day, hundreds of people are physically assaulted, sexually assaulted or robbed. Unfortunately, just because you live in a quiet neighborhood or have confidence in yourself does not mean you are safe. We often hear that “muggings only happen to others…”. Well, that’s not true!
Fortunately, whether you don’t have the time or you can’t afford to join a group class or a combat sports club, there are other solutions available to you. So, it’s time to take all the necessary precautions to avoid being surprised by an aggressor.

Are self defense online training truly effective?
The answer is YES, without hesitation! Anyone can be confronted with an aggression, you or a member of your family. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as zero risk, which is why knowing a few simple fighting techniques and gestures can be of great help. This is the basis for learning how to defend yourself.
The advantage of online videos is that they allow you to progress at home, in a calm environment, on the useful movements to reproduce in case of aggression. The idea is not to know how to fight, but rather to scare off the aggressors. Besides, this is not the only reason!
An assault is a very stressful situation and usually, in these moments, stress management is rather secondary. You only think about surviving and you end up tetanized. But here again, self defense allows you to act quickly by having the right reflexes.
NB: there are also self defense initiations for children.
When can I start an online self defense training?
There are no definite answers… In fact, it all depends on your level, your motivations and your means. For instance, if you are already enrolled in a martial arts or combat sport club, learning self defense techniques online can be a very good idea to progress on the moves you have already learned from your instructors. It’s also a great way to get back into it if you’ve tried before.
But that’s not all! If you lack confidence or are too shy to participate in a private or group with an instructor and other practitioners, starting self defense at home is the best alternative to practice at your own pace. Besides, if you are an indecisive person and you can’t choose among the possible martial arts, it also allows you to test several fighting techniques!

Good to know
Did you know that most assaults that occur in France are hand-to-hand, with seizures or strangulation, with or without robberies, including rapes? They are actually increasing… By practicing at home, you will regain your self-confidence and memorize the right tactics to adopt to defend yourself. Close combat strikes, fists and bare hands, facing a weapon (knife or stick), in short, self defense prepares you to defend yourself, but also to defend someone else.
On the other hand, don’t worry, you don’t need to be a black belt in karate or Krav-maga to counter an attack. As long as you make sure you respond with the same intensity as your opponent, you are safe regarding the law.
