They would teach how to respond to a potential stranger abduction which was really important for me. My kids took Aikido classes for a while and I liked the fact that they taught real life self defense techniques to my children. I definitely am not interested in learning how to use weapons but I would like to learn some self defense techniques where I could block an attacker and develop quicker reflexes. I just wanted to say that I have always wanted to take a self defense class but I am a little intimidated and feel that I have to be in better physical shape in order to take some of these self defense lessons. Believe me: you don't have to be in great shape to start taking - That is a shame that your children quit Aikido. I have learned a *lot* in class and would recommend the classes to anyone with an interest self-defense. We've even learned how to deal with someone flashing a knife or gun. Japanese jujitsu tends to combine the punches, kicking, throwing, lock moves, and my school emphasizes appropriate self-defense tactics (knowing when to walk away, for example). It's not flashy like nunchuks or throwing stars, but it is effective, which is the idea when defending oneself. It's legal and can do a lot of damage to an attacker when used properly. Weapons use is more or less the student's choice, but it is good to know how to use something like an escrima stick, which is about two feet long and as big around as a broom handle. Some schools are better at this than others. Look for a school that emphasizes positive reinforcement and that welcomes adult students as well as children. Jujitsu, in particular, is one of the close-quarters martial arts, and well suited for learning practical self-defense, or as we say in class, "street tactics." I've really enjoyed the classes, and I've learned a lot about self-defense. June 28, I'm 42, female, weigh more than I ought to, and I take Japanese jujitsu. I want to join the military and get into law enforcement and I would like to learn all forms of self-defenses, both armed and unarmed.
