The advantages of a private self defense training
Attending a private defense training is also very useful in many areas of life. You learn how to protect yourself or those around you, build your self-confidence, improve your physical condition and at the same time, your health, especially through muscular building. And the cherry on the cake: you become more disciplined.
Generally, a private self defense training lasts between 30 and 90 minutes. The big advantage is that it can be adapted to all levels, individually, and therefore be totally personalized which is impossible in a group training. Moreover, you can practice wherever you want: at the dojo or at the gym, but also at the office, at home, in a park, in short, you are free to decide depending on your planning.
Greater efficiency
Let’s not forget that self defense is a sport that mixes martial arts and combat sports. Private self defense training is very practical for people who want to improve their tactics and specialize in a particular field, in a minimum of time:
- Krav Maga,
- Pencak silat,
- Karate,
- Ju Jitsu,
- Judo,
- Or even boxing…
This way you can learn faster and defend yourself more effectively. The self defense instructor is 100% by your side during this session, so you assimilate the information better.
Greater self-control
For shy people, attending a group training session can be extremely difficult. This alternative is a good compromise to gain self-confidence and learn to manage stress. Self defense is useful in all aspects of life: at work, at home, at the gym, in competition, etc.
Self-control offers many benefits, and managing stress has significant effects on your health.
Also, self defense is (almost) necessary if you want to travel. Not only will you be more confident, but you will be able to defend yourself, even against an armed assailant, simply with your fists and by making simple and effective gestures. Physical aggression abroad is the main source of travelers’ discomfort, so you might as well get rid of this worry before you leave. This is especially true for women who travel alone.

The training is focused on you, so you improve your fighting techniques significantly. Your strikes are more precise and less hesitant! You will know how to react to confrontations and you will no longer be afraid of hand-to-hand combat in case of aggression. This method of combat also helps you develop your reflexes. Finally, your instructor can help you choose the close combat sport or martial art that suits you best if you need some advice.
