I'd like to learn martial arts and self-defense. Any suggestions?

  • Two men engaged in JudoMartial arts should be introduced by and learned with a qualified instructor.
  • Consider trying a form of martial arts that focuses on movement and body awareness. Arts that use target and object recognition may be more difficult for a beginner. Many individuals have found Judo to be a satisfying and effective sport.
  • Find an instructor willing to guide you through movements. With practice and repetition they can be easy to learn.
  • Focus on environment and sensory development — particularly awareness of your body position in space and of others around you.
