Summary: Self-defense and the martial arts often go hand in hand. Many of the martial arts are intended primarily as methods of self-defense. Some forms of self-defense are very aggressive, seeking to inflict maximum damage on an attacker. Other forms are more passive, going as far as possible to avoid physical confrontation while securing escape from danger.

You will learn the importance of moving off of the line of attack. The instructor will show you how to parry from both outside and inside positions. You will receive tips on disarming an attacker and using wrist control. The instructor and his assistant will also show you how to kick and throw an attacker who is using an edged weapon.
