The ability to protect yourself in case of adversity is something that one must possess especially in a city fraught with worrying news such as Delhi. After the Nirbhaya case, we at Delhi Dance Academy decided to do something about empowering men and women with ideas and moves to protect themselves and others and to avoid scuffles if such a situation arises. The self defense cum martial arts classes at Delhi Dance Academy are not your typical Taekwondo/Karate/Kung-Fu classes – rather they’re a very cleverly designed set of classes where we teach you the actual art of self defense without going through different belt colours and without spending a lot of time repeating same punch or kick moves because the idea and objective is not to make you a black-belt, but to ACTUALLY train you on how to become stronger and to protect yourself if God-forbid, such a situation arises.
Timings:
Tue, Thurs, Sat – 7pm to 8pm. FULL
Fee: Rs 2000 per month / Rs 5400 for 3 months / Rs 9600 for 6 months
Self Defense Classes at DDA vs Martial Arts like Karate, Taekwondo and Kung-Fu
Self defense is often confused with martial arts and often when you’re looking for self defense classes online, you’re taken to websites of institutes and academies that teach progression based martial arts like Taekwondo, Karate, Kung Fu or plain Martial Arts. These are great forms of art but with mastering them, comes the pre-requisite of having ample time (we mean years) to progress through white, yellow and then ultimately to black belt. The difference between these and self-defense at Delhi Dance Academy is that we take a complete short cut and get you directly to movements and tricks that will help you save yourself in case of a scuffle, burglary and unwanted advances (whether sexual or otherwise) by others.
At DDA’s self defense classes, you will learn:
1. For ladies – what to carry in your bag and how to use it to protect yourself.
2. How to build the stamina and flexibility that will save you in case of adversity and in 3 months time, you will see the difference in the power of your kicks and punches and in your stamina if you’re regular.
3. Where to hit for maximum impact.
4. Maneuvers to get out of holds and from tricky situations.
5. Quick-thinking tips of what to do in case of a tricky situation.
6. First-aid techniques to save yourself and others in case of accidents.
7. Survival techniques for various situations.
8. How to motivate and influence others around you to take action if you’re stuck or in trouble.
9. Important numbers to carry in your phone, software to install on your smart-phone to track it and how to get your smart-phone locked.
10. Rules of being a better citizen – how to help others in trouble without getting in trouble yourself and some common mis-conceptions that people have about saving others’ lives by taking them to hospitals and what to do if faced with a situation where your help can save someone’s life.
