[PowertoWomen.in] [Post] Other than the primary benefit of teaching your employees to physically defend themselves – there are significant secondary benefits to self-defense training.
Empowerment from with-in, self confidence and self-control and creates new level of respect for others team members
‘PowertoWomen.in’ focuses on empowerment from within rather than depending on special martial arts tricks or external reinforcement of power like husbands, boyfriends, guards etc. Lot of women can be taught punches and kicks but they will never use it as they do not believe they can be a force to reckon with. Staffers will always think we are too small, not that strong, too big, too thin, too weak, too old, too young, too unfit etc. and finally they really do not wish to engage in a fist fight with someone bigger and stronger than them. What if they forget the martial arts trick? What if they drop the pepper spray or its empties up? Then what??? ‘PowertoWomen.in’ teaches them to Prevent, Avoid and Escape most of the threats using just reflex action (something their body already knows and remembers) and science of human body. Thus eradicating all the doubts plus when they also see other staffers doing the same along with their limitations they starts to respect them too.

‘PowertoWomen.in’ also does not believe in magic, easy solutions to difficult situations in life. Most of these so-called Self Defense program focuses on showcasing easy magic solutions to serious problems women face every day. Who does not want a easy solution? But when it’s life threatening situations, you will rather have a effective solution rather than a make-belief pretend-it-easy solution. ‘PowertoWomen.in’ believes in showcasing how to understand the problem so you can rather prevent, avoid and escape from most of the problems without actually having to put your life at threat by fighting it.
