Why take a self defense class–wouldnt martial arts training be more effective?
While most martial arts training does include self defense techniques, most Karate schools emphasize physical condition, forms (or Karate patterns), and lots of repetition. They also require uniforms, examinations to increase rank, and lots of protocols such as bowing, etc. While there are those who will benefit from all this, taking a martial arts class will require a long time to become proficient in the self defense aspect of training. ASD provides efficient and effective training in a shorter time frame by eliminating the conditioning, bowing, etc., and simply covering the material you are interested in: SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUES THAT REALLY WORK!
