Do all martial arts offer a special self-defense course?
Posted by SF Tactics TeamNov 5
Some martial arts offer a special course besides the regular program, a course that we can call it "Sel-defense course for everyone". This kind of courses are suitable for everyone: no matter the weight,sex,age,etc

They don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand.
Martial Arts, in most of its popular incarnations, are tournament arts and aren’t as useful in combat and self defense situations as some instructs promote them to be.
If you’re really interested in self defense, your best bet is to find a place that specializes in self defense. There are two levels, too. There’s practical self defense for ordinary citizens, designed to be used in everyday situations and built around common physical capabilities. Then, there’s self denfense and combatives for professionals… Law enformcenet, military, and personal safety get advanced training that take more advantage of heightened senses and capabilities of a professional.
A really popular self defense / combat art that’s becoming easier and easier to find instructors for is Krav Maga. In some cities, it actually has its own yellow pages category.
