Any dudes ever take a self-defense class?

I've signed up for self-defense class already for next semester but I think the class is mainly designed for girls. I was going to take aikido but the spots were filled up at the moment. Is self-defense for everyone? If you ever did join any did it have equal amounts of each gender?

Self-defense classes are often focused on particular groups and may reflect challenged faced by them particularly, but they tend to highlight their target groups if that is they case.

Self-defense is truly for everyone. Techniques that work are techniques that work, whomever is using them. If the class is well developed, well concieved, well structured, and well taught, it will make you think diffrently, become more aware, and utilize some simple techniques to avoid trouble, talk your way out of trouble, mitigate physical altercations, and use simple physical defense techniques if absolutely necessary. These will work for absolutely anyone.

We teach free quarterly community self-defense classes every year, and often about a half-dozen seminars that are requested by different groups in our area each year. The core of the seminars are the same for all groups, but we are able to modify some of the content and concepts based on who we're talking to i.e. elderly indiviudals, students on campus, sex workers, police officers, transgender groups and so on.

I'd suggest, go to the class. Knolwedge is NEVER a waste of time, and you should learn something useful from the class/es

Good luck,

Is self defense class and martial arts the same thing?

I was in a self defense class for awhile and didn't enjoy it. I was thinking martial arts would be more of my interest but im not sure if they are the same thing or what?

All responses to an attack must be without thought instanteanous.THE BUBISHI BIBLE OF KARATE

The above requires thousands of repititions of the moves so I would say any art where the intent is to strike and counter strike move and counter move will give you self defense skills with time.

The difference is arts designed to counter street type methods will do it better leaving less room for failure.

Most instructors wont devote time to self defense skills but would rather have the students work on getting another trophy in the dojo window.This cheats the students who will never be or dont want to be tournament fighters but anybody can learn to defend themselves when taught the methods and are willing to do the reps. required.
Quickie self defense courses are useless and you forget the information as quickly as you learnt it not to mention they are boring besides.
