Self Defence for Women

Wing Tsun is unique in that it was designed by a woman for women to defend themselves. This special history means that it is the only Martial Art where a weaker person can effectively defend against a stronger. Our schools are quite unusual as we have a number of female instructors.

Naturally smaller than men, the only way that women can normally excel in most martial arts is by training very hard, and often dangerously, for many years. In Wing Tsun this is simply not the case - women learn to apply the principles of self defence from the first lesson. While it takes time to master the techniques, it is far quicker than other martial arts as it works with the body, allowing you to use it more effectively (and safely). For this reason Wing Tsun is not just great as self defence for women but also excellent for fitness and weight loss.

Women’s only classes are available by request, but the effectiveness of Wing Tsun is also the interaction and training with people of all shapes and sizes.

Training in a mixed class may seem intimidating, but we do our best to ensure that this is not the case. All the classes are conducted in a safe environment. Furthermore, new students are not introduced into the main part of the class until they feel ready and then only at a level that suits them.

  • Realistic and safe self-defence
  • Gain confidence in yourself as well as self discipline
  • Lose weight and gain personal fitness
  • Have the ability to defuse hostile situations
  • Learn how deal with confrontations and defend yourself
  • Learn how to control fear and aggression
  • Develop street awareness - learn how to recognise dangerous situations and how to avoid them
  • Have fun and relieve stress
  • Become healthier and happier
