Woman Attacked in Calgary

A woman was attacked on Tuesday morning whilst out jogging in Edworthy Park, Calgary.

Reports say that she was hit on the head with a rock and knocked out momentarily, when she came-to the man was trying to choke her. Fortunately, the woman did manage to fight the man off, kicking him in the face and breaking his glasses.

It shows that it is possible for a woman to fight back, that you can make a difference.

This attack also shows how “It can happen” and to those who expect it least. Jogging alone in an isolated area does make you more vulnerable, and easier for an attacker to target you. If possible jog in a group or in busier areas.

It should not be the case but unfortunately there are such people as this low-life attacker that exist in the world.

To offer advice to those people looking for Martial arts in Calgary, I would recommend that you do your due diligence and research what each of the Arts are.

Scheduled Free Self Defense Courses

Throughout the duration of our last season, we taught free self defense courses to over 1000 people.

One of the problems that came to light was that it was hard for interested people to commit themselves as our courses were organised at rather short notice at times.

Realising that people require more time to organise their own schedules and organising their own time, it was decided to organise many more dates right up front and let people know what is going to be available for the coming year.

Our new season starts in September, by then we will have all dates for the coming year organised.

We hold many free courses, we also hold courses for groups and even go into Companies to hold Self Defense Courses for their staff.

Many people ask about bringing children to courses, however, the type of information that children need to learn differs from the information that adults require. The physical techniques that young children need to know also differ from the physical techniques that we teach to adults.

Teenagers and above are a different matter as physical size is very similar to that of adults, therefor teenagers and above are welcome to accompany other family members who attend.

If you have any doubts then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Self Defense for Kids

We teach Self Defense for Kids here in Calgary. Classes are divided into 5 to 8 year olds and 9 to 11 years olds. From 12 and up, children can start training in Adult classes.

For the young children, although there is an active and fun aspect, teaching basic skills, classes are aimed much more in the direction of safety and awareness, strangers, what to do when lost, how to escape if necessary and generally making children aware of some of the possible dangers without scaring them.

As they move from the Self Defense for kids into the Junior classes (9+), there are more technical skills to learn and at the same time teaching respect and discipline.

Children start to learn some of the benefits of health and fitness, whilst maintaining a real fun atmosphere. Fun is an essential aspect of learning, it is also essential to ensure they continue to maintain an interest.

There is so much more to Self Defense for Kids than simply teaching Martial arts.

At the moment we are based in SW Calgary but as we continue to grow, we will have many more options available.If you are interested in Self Defense for Kids or just in finding out more then do not hesitate to Contact Us.
