| INNOVATIVE TRAINING SYSTEM FOR WOMEN TO FIGHT USING THEIR CORE AND LOWER BODY STRENGTH TO GENERATE POWER. |
| SHIELD is a close-range fighting system created specifically to empower women against sexual assault. Unlike most training that uses upper body strength, SHIELD relies on one's CORE and LOWER BODY strength to generate power. Our training method is unique, simple, and fun. Based on a mixture of martial arts principles, self-defense and street fighting, SHIELD focuses on training the body mechanics, balance, speed, and breathing. This is a safe space for women to learn practical and effective self defense. The logic is simple – to get used to something, we first need to experience it. We can't learn how to swim without going in the water. The difference between having FEAR and having TERROR is in knowing what to do. When we know what to do, fear can be our ally. If we don’t know what to do, or have never experienced it, we will freeze in terror because we have no clear goal on how to respond. The difference is in the TRAINING! |
