Women are more likely to be attacked by an opponent who is larger and stronger than them. It goes without saying that awareness again is the most important thing. However if the physical option is unavoidable, the difference in strength between a larger man and a smaller woman creates very different circumstances for the woman.

Urban Krav Maga is designed to allow people to defend themselves without the need to use excessive strength that makes it an ideal self defence system for women. When we teach the various techniques we always highlight the options that will make the technique more effective for a woman dealing with a larger man.

When women are attacked by men it is most often by being grabbed in a bear hug or in a choke in preparation for being taken to the ground. Urban Krav Maga has techniques designed to deal effectively with such attacks that are perfect for women's self defence. We teach ground defence skills that will enable you to disable and escape a larger attacker and regain your feet should the worst happen. Women also tend to be more vulnerable to hair pulls and grabs, there are simple effective techniques that we teach for these scenarios too.

We understand people have different backgrounds and different levels of confidence. For those new to martial arts and self-defence training we ensure that training progresses in a manner that takes this into account. We ensure our students will grow in confidence and ability with time.
