About Women's Self Defense Classes

Free Women's Self Defense Classes in Boston. Every Saturday Morning 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

At Women’s Self Defense Boston we teach the Krav Maga Yashir system. A style of martial arts that was developed in Israel to deal with all nature of assaults and attacks from unarmed singular assaults to those acts of violence and terror committed by predatory and criminal groups. There is no system in the world that takes such a comprehensive approach to dealing with real world violence as Krav Maga Yashir.

Our women’s self defense program is not just a collection of various techniques but a tried and tested method of training women in the subject of personal safety whether through changing attitudes and behaviors or teaching physical solutions to violence.

Our experience and understanding demonstrates that violence against an individual is largely predictable i.e. there are pre-indicators in a situation that can be used to identify the presence of harmful intent and that there are victim facilitators i.e. things that we do and/or ways in which we behave which identify ourselves as potential targets/victims. By identifying the habits and behaviors which put us at risk and learning to pick up on the various pre-indicators that may be present in a situation we can avoid ever having to be involved in a physical conflict.

Our program is not a general self-defense program that has been modified to be used by women but one that has been built from the bottom up to address the needs and issues facing women living in the modern world. We have even presented our program in a modular way so that each part of the program can be taught independently meaning that classes can be attended according to the student’s schedule rather than our own i.e. the different lessons/modules that are taught can be taken at any time and in any order.

All our training is conducted in a contextual manner; that is we don’t teach or practice as if violence occurs in an emotional or situational vacuum. We look at the relationship you may have with your aggressor e.g. are they a partner, ex-partner or friend? Often we make the mistake of thinking that assaults are conducted solely by strangers whereas certainly for women this is not the case. We look at the various decisions and thought processes that women go through in these situations and how they can overcome their doubts, questions and internal conflicts when dealing with these situations.

We look at all the types of aggression and types of assaults that women may/can be subjected to from rape and sexual assaults to muggings and stalking. We look at how these situations develop and the pre-indicators present e.g. what behaviors identify a current partner as a potential stalker etc.
