“Your personal protection is your own responsibility.”

The Woman’s Self Defense seminar, created by USA Seishin Karate Association, is designed to help students, women in particular, think in a better way to better help protect themselves. This course teaches practical and real-world self-defense thinking styles, and augments a woman’s natural self-defense arsenal. Students will learn how to make their intuitive sense work for them, how to accurately assess danger, how to judge male behavior, how to become a human lie detector, how to always keep the odds and chances in their favor, and how to safely and effectively extricate themselves from potentially dangerous situations.

This 6 week course is geared toward mature girls and women, and addresses mature concerns.

The Woman’s Self Defense program was developed by Shihan Ray Martens, a 6th Degree Black Belt with a military background, with over forty years of Martial Arts teaching experience. The program is taught by Sensei Philip Lehrman, a 3rd Degree Black Belt who has been training in and teaching Martial Arts for over twenty five years. The classes will be a combination of physical, psychological, and philosophical lessons, with a focus on helping participants think in a different way to better protect themselves. The physical portion of the class does not require participants to be in shape and will not be physically demanding.
