Why Every Woman Should Study Damian Ross The Self Defense Company The reason women are attacked is simple: predators choose smaller, weaker targets to ensure there success. Women and elderly people get attacked, professional football players do not. It’s unfortunate that most women do not even study basic self defense and strategy. Traditionally more men enroll in martial arts programs than women to the tune of about 10 to 1. Well all that’s changing. The biggest barrier for women enrolling in martial arts programs is that they are intimidating. Martial Arts suggest an extremely “testosterone charged” environment. The image of men with a lot of egos and attitude has kept a lot of women from even considering a martial arts program. Instead you choose to go to the gym, enroll in yoga, pilates, take a spin class or even cardio kick boxing (this is NOT a martial art). Even though those are worthy pursuits for your body and your spirit, they do little for you piece of mind. How many times would you consider adding regular self defense training to your schedule? How SAFER would you be if you could identify a potential threat before it was too late?
Self Defense skills are perishable!!! You need to practice them regularly. Now, you don’t need to enroll in a lengthy and expensive martial arts program, but if you can find the right type of training in a format that is designed to give you the most benefit for the least amount of time invested. This is why the 10 Lesson Self Defense Program offered by the Self Defense Company was developed. In just a handful of lessons you will have a clear understanding of what your capabilities are and how to avoid potentially dangerous and deadly situations. This program is developed from years of trial and error and documented field studies of real life situations. The methods were designed so that ANYONE regardless of size, age or experience can use them with success. Imagine walking into a friendly and inviting environment with a professional instructor who is more like a coach than a drill instructor.

Links to Martial Arts Articles A Brief History Of Martial Arts in the Modern Military Many martial arts are derived from military combatives; the study of hand-to-hand combat and martial arts in warfare. After all, the term "martial art" means "art of warfare." For example, the sport or judo comes from jujutsu, which comes from samurai grappling, which was part of the training Japanese warriors received as preparation for battle. Many weapon-oriented martial arts, such as iado, kendo, kyudo and naganata-do originated in schools of martial techniques for warriors. These weapons, the sword, bow and arrow, and pole arm, were the assault rifles and machine guns of their time--the default weapons of military fighters--and as such were key components in combat training. The Western interest in East Asian Martial arts dates back to the late 19th Century AD, due to the increase in trade between America with China and Japan. Relatively few Westerners actually practiced the martial arts, considering it to be mere performance. Edward William Barton-Wright, a railway engineer who had studied the martial art Jujutsu while working in Japan between 1894–97, was the first man known to have taught Asian martial arts in Europe. He also founded an eclectic martial arts style named Bartitsu which combined jujutsu, judo, boxing, savate and stick fighting. William E. Fairbairn, a Shanghai policeman and at the time a leading Western expert on Asian fighting techniques, was recruited during world War II by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to teach UK, U.S. and Canadian Commando and Ranger forces Jujutsu. The seminal self-defense book Kill or Get Killed was written by Colonel Rex Applegate, who worked closely with Fairbairn to train the "First Special Service," a joint U.S. and Canadian army unit; it became a classic military treatise on hand to hand combat and created the reality based martial art "Defendu." Modern variations that can still trace an authentic lineage to Applegate are very few . The undisputed "father" of Modern close-combat is Carl Cestari who had a direct relationship with both Colonel Applegate and WWII self-defense pioneer Charlie Nelson. In 2006 Carl Cestari was named one of the top 10 "Most Dangerous Men On The Planet" by Black Belt Magazine. Seeing the need to bring these legitimate and proven techniques and method of close-combat back into the Modern world of "hobby" Martial Arts (Karate, Kung Fu, Capoiera, Aikido, etc.) and "sport" Martial Arts (Judo, Brazilian Jui-jitsu, Wrestling, Kick Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Ultimate fighting , etc.), one of Cestari’s top students, Damian Ross and his instructors have dedicated their lives to teaching, instruction, and spreading the "truth" about Martial Arts, street fighting, self defense, and close combat.
