Violence against women remains a very serious and widespread problem - locally and globally. Women are targeted more often than men. Assaults against women are a specific problem that requires the focused approach of a specialized class. Some women prefer to learn in a women-only environment. Women-only classes can be a nice introduction to self-defense and lead to participation in mixed gender groups. A comprehensive self-defense program that develops awareness, confidence and effective techniques can help women avoid, prevent, escape, and survive assaults.

One of the fastest growing aspects of Krav Maga is Women's Self Defense. This is not surprising since violence against women remains a pervasive problem in Toronto, Canada, and the world at large. Along with education, legal reform, and other efforts, learning self-defense offers another means to combat this ugly reality.Here are 5 main reasons we teach women's self-defense.At some point, we suggest, it is beneficial to train with men - at least periodically - to adapt to the generally larger size and to develop more confidence. This is not something we push but something we encourage - when you are ready.We are now offering ongoing women's self-defense classes on Saturdays 11:45 am to 1 pm at our new location, 2156 Yonge St. (just south of Eglinton).
