Women-Only Self Defense Awareness plus Fitness
The headquarters location offers Wentzville’s original women-only fitness and self-defense awareness class. The women’s class is available for females, ages 16 and older, no matter what your fitness level.
This class is designed especially for women who prefer a personal group with more individualized instruction, where they can build FRIENDSHIPS while building FITNESS!
This women’s martial arts class covers a broad spectrum of topics, from situational awareness and women’s issues to the core techniques of hapkido such as strikes, kicks, blocking, punching, joint manipulations and even ground defense. Even though our #1 rule is “Don’t go to the ground”, we still work on what to do if you ARE on the ground and how to quickly get away! A frequent topic of discussion is how to use momentum and positioning to defend against a stronger attacker. Most importantly, the women prepare to use these skills in real-life defense situations.
While the women’s class includes all the components of the regular Jin Joong Kwan curriculum, it is generally a smaller class with more individualized attention to focus on the areas that the women need to spend more time on. Women’s class participants are free to pursue all belt levels but there is never any pressure and the ladies are free to be comfortable at their own pace.
