Repeat after me: the street is NOT the place to show off any skills you think you have. It is NOT the place to bring your ego up top. It is NOT the place to release aggression and frustration. Getting home safely and in one piece should be your top priority.

I always stress the importance of strength training for women, especially those who are learning self-defence with me. It builds the strength, muscle, and stamina needed to get out of a street fight safely and quickly, and helps you fight attackers who might be bigger and heavier than you.

PS: this post is not meant to offend anyone who is learning, practicing, or teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I believe that has its merits and benefits. Let’s have a healthy debate about these merits and demerits.
This post is my opinion as a self-defence instructor who understands and has faced violence in a street fight. This is to help you differentiate between a combat sport and self defence, because walking around with a false sense of security is dangerous.
In a real street fight, where quick and efficient self-defence skills are needed to get out, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu does not offer practical techniques for everyone. However, that said, BJJ as a combat sport is excellent, offering great grappling discipline and a good workout.

This is a general overview of what you learn in a good self-defence class. Of course, there’s much more, and there are also nuances to these techniques related to number of attackers, physique of an attacker, and more, that you learn while practicing.

When I get queries from people who sound excited to become fighters, to learn how to punch and kick, I want to tell them that self-defence is not the fancy action you see in movies. It is NOT pretty or cool. It is a last resort - difficult, dirty, scary. It needs a strong mindset and not just repetition of some techniques you learn. And yet, it is one of the most important skills you can learn - but for the right reasons.
