the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

teaching a little class in women's self defense. using ninjutsu. although i am a student of shuai jiao, shaolin, bagua,when it comes to women's self defense,i choose to teach ninjutsu. the reason being,all techniques are done on a partner,with self defense in mind. there are no solo routines.

The link is broken.

And do you have a background in taijutsu?

I don't think a short course will ever achieve anything useful. If unskilled women do not wish to be raped, this is useful.

why ninjutsu ? why not just do a self defense class for women incorporating all these ideas ?

i'm not talking about a crash course. for crash course,yes i would use techniques from different styles.even if i teach ninjutsu i will use some techniques from other styles. i like to use some conditioning drills from kung fu,to toughen up their bodies some ,as well as a pushing game i learned from chen tai chi,to help improve balance and face an opponent in a completive game. but as a base system for self defense i feel ninjutsu is a good one, i mention why in the video.

yes you say because it is all two person work, but every style of martial art has two person work, so you could just use these aspects of any style and teach this. Im fairly certain your not going to be teaching your students all aspects of what is claimed to be 'ninjustsu' so why take the two person drills from this in particular ? for what reason do you think ninjutsu is better for womens self defense than other styles you know ?

the video will answer your question

it didn't

My advice scrap the uniforms, scrap name Ninjutsu just teach them what you think is Self Defense.

Though the video looks like it is seriously disconnected from what is violence. Check out Eddie Quinns the approach he gets beginners male and femail up to speed quickly in short courses enabling them to hit hard and fast with violent mind set rather than the more defensive one shown here in your videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJjPhBjJZ0M

Talk is cheap. i know people who have used this before. one of my former teachers was a corrections officer in Rikers Island, he said he used this stuff everyday, and one of my former classmates a girl,green belt at the time defender herself against three male attackers, so it works
