Best Self-defence Classes Indianapolis Near Me

4worldlovers: Chances are one in four women will be attacked during her lifetime.

Chances are women who resist effectively are twice as likely to escape injury as others.

Although no one, not even men, are exempt from a violent or sexual assault, A Fighting Chance is for women only. Women have a particular disadvantage being typically lesser in size, weight, reach, and strength than most men, so A Fighting Chance teaches women techniques that emphasize a woman’s strongest “weapons,” against an offender’s weakest targets. The key; however, is to fight effectively before becoming exhausted. Studies have shown that 50% of attackers fled from a woman who even showed a willingness to resist.

This is not your typical safety course. We understand that learning self defense is a very personal and emotional experience. With the prevalence of domestic violence and sexual assault, many women seek out safety programs after being victimized, experiencing a “close call,” or knowing someone who has been victimized. The instructor is prepared to assist those who need extra emotional support during the class. Woman are able to gain a sense of strength and confidence that comes with learning to protect themselves.

Our rape prevention and self-defense program best suits women ages 12 and up due to modest sexual content regarding the most common rape scenarios, escape techniques, and emotional effects that may be experienced; however, the program may be modified to suit a group of younger students. The classes are taught by a woman, but our male “Bad Guy” wears ap protective padded suit to allow participants to practice and experience kicking and striking using full-force against a stronger, larger attacker.

The original Mixed Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do is the philosophy and study of fighting developed by Bruce Lee in the 1960s. The core principle of JKD is to “Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and make everything your own.” This is the perfect art for someone who wants to take their martial arts to the next level, get in fantastic shape, or get into competitive martial arts.

Level 10 changed my son's life. When my son was younger he was well-behaved and a good student. However, he was shy and unsure of himself. I was hoping to find a physical activity where he could be more active and also form friendships. My hopes were exceeded ten times over! He is now confident, outgoing, motivated, and a leader in whatever he does.

Such a great atmosphere. My five year old son didn’t want to leave!!! His first class was awesome and he’s so ready for the next. Thank you for being apart of our community.

Level 10 has changed our family for the better in too many ways to count. Our son is happier, healthier and more active than he has ever been in his 11 years. He is becoming more self-confident and is willing (and able!) to push himself well out of his comfort zone and try things he never would have before. My husband and I have made so many amazing friends in the other parents at the school, and we have also learned a lot of helpful insight to parenting based off the curriculum at level 10. We couldn't be happier with our choice to start B's martial arts journey here and we are excited to see what comes in the future!

Our boys have been going here for almost 3 years. Master Theros and Mrs. Theros have a genuine interest in their training as well as the instructors. They are top notch. Our boys have gained self confidence, discipline and self defense lessons they would not have had otherwise. We look forward to watching them grow on their journey to earning their black belt.

I started 2 of my children at Level 10 in January, now my other 2 and myself train at Level 10 as well. I have seen lots of positive changes in my children and myself. We are learning valuable life lessons not just how to protect ourselves. Level 10 is really a big family from the instructors, students and parents, everyone is kind, warm, welcoming and encouraging.

Self-defense is a serious subject, but this is not the army, it is a classroom and we have fun while learning. Even the strongest building can’t stand on a weak foundation. That is why we support each other in class because you can only learn and grow if you have a strong support system to stand on. Come and meet like-minded individuals, engage with other members of your community, and have some fun!
