Phase 1 (Idea)
Teaching Self Defense Lessons

Phase 2(Brief)
Brief Note on Self-Defense

Basically Self-Defense is a force to defend oneself against another's intended injury. Self
defense, if justified, is a defense against a variety of crimes and torts involving force, such as
murder, assault, and battery. Every day, you hear about women being victimized, whether on
social media or on television. There are so many women's tales out there, and you might hear
about sexual assault, random attacks by strangers, and being harmed in some manner. In
particular for women, the world is changing and becoming more unpredictable. As a result, self
defense training is one of the most important and necessary items on any woman's to-do list.
Self-defense training is recommended in the criminal justice system so that women can defend
themselves against sexual assault and random attacks. Here are some of the reasons why women
need to know how to defend themselves. Self-defense training also assists a woman in
psychologically preparing for an attack by empowering her and increasing her confidence and
self-efficacy. It also aids in the education of women on how to avoid potentially hazardous
circumstances. Self-defense skills not only assist teenagers to protect themselves against physical
attacks, but they also provide a variety of other advantages for students in their daily life. Self-
defense lessons instill key qualities and ideas such as hard effort, loyalty, patience, and self-
confidence. Children are exposed to a range of threats, and only a small percentage of them are
capable of defending themselves if necessary. Self defense teaches children how to detect and
analyze risky circumstances before making a rational decision on how to respond. This
instruction instills self-control in children and boosts their self-esteem. Women are still unable to
get equal rights in society. They are limited in their ability to carry out their tasks. People should
break free from these constraints and limits by providing ladies with presents. When women are
subjected to sexual abuse or random attacks, they are unable to defend themselves. Fear is the
primary cause of failure. As Self-Defense is also important for children that are why: Self-
defense not only enables children to protect themselves against physical attacks, but it also
provides them with a variety of benefits in everyday life. Hard effort, devotion, and persistence,
as well as the necessity of sustaining personal relationships, are all important values and
concepts that may be learnt. So Begin by teaching a child how to be vocally assertive or de-
escalate a situation by standing up for oneself and not giving the bully the emotional reaction
they want. Use role-playing to provide light pressures for a youngster to practice reacting to a
bully or aggressor. Swinging should not be taught to a youngster. Instead, instruct them to
maintain a buffer zone or confront an attacker who has been physically aggressive in order to
limit their assault possibilities. Enroll the youngster in an excellent bullying prevention or martial
arts program.

Initial facts were gathering a group telling them about idea and asking them how we are going to
complete it. The data we collected from internet and also through communication with other
people who really think that it is now a basic need of girls and children.

As men are strong enough to protect them so in our point of view Self defense is the need of
ladies and children so our project is going to target the population includes children under age of
15 and ladies.

Why we adopt self defense topic as a project


We have selected this topic self defense for our project because self defense plays vital role in
our daily life. Self-defense not only allows children to tangibly defend themselves against
physical attacks, it also sparks various benefits to them in everyday life. Important values and
principles can be learned, such as hard work, dedication, and perseverance, as well as the
importance of maintaining personal relationships.

The ability to protect oneself physically from harm is a basic human right that should be
accessible to everyone, including children. Teaching children self-defense is something we often
overlook in today’s society, but it is of utmost importance. In an age when the bullying epidemic
in school is a huge problem, it is important to ensure that our children can defend themselves if
the need arises. So therefore we selected Self Defense as a topic for our final project of life and
learning.

Project Vision, Mission Statement, Project Goals, Objectives, and KPIs, OKRs
(objectives and Key Results).
Our Vision
Our organization seeks a future free of violence for women and children.

Our Mission
The goal of our group initiative is to make Empowerment Self-Defense a core violence
prevention tool for women and children.

Our Objectives
1. We feel that acquiring Empowerment Self-Defense techniques to protect oneself and others
from savagery is beneficial to everyone, and we are dedicated to offering ESD-based viciousness
counteraction training.

2. We believe that everyone deserves access to Empowerment Self-Defense training.

3. Empowerment is something we value. All things considered, self-defense abilities enable


individuals and their capacities to live bolder, more liberated, and better lives.
4. Knowing how to create clear close-to-home limits, we believe, enables individuals to be more
compelling and effective in their lives and relationships.

5. Equip you with the skills you'll need to manage an attack on your own.

6. To give women more authority.

7. Self-defense teaches children how to recognize and monitor risky circumstances before
making a rational decision on how to respond.

Our Goal
Our goals for teaching self defense are

1) Every Single woman and child should believe on their own will power
2) No one should feel unsafe when there is nobody around them
3) We want to make women and children strong
4) Women should remain fit and healthy
5) Through self-defense instruction, kids will gain self-confidence and be able to contribute
significantly to their own growth, shaping their own future, and increasing their potential.
6) Give free self defense classes so that everyone should get the knowledge of self defense.

How will the project be executed?


As our members are good at their own work like some of our members are good in photography
and some are good in martial arts and some are good at Ms Word. So it is good for our group that
we have members of different category so report will be completed according to the need and
before its completion we have to conduct the activity in which we are practically going to teach
the self defense to the women and children. This activity will be carried out in a group with a
modest number of girls or children. Then we gave them verbal instructions and announced
certain guidelines that would assist them in a crisis. We next put them through some physical
exercises and tactics to help them deal with danger. We show children how to utilize their mind
and body to detect danger and prepare for it ahead of time. As a result, we carried out the job in
this manner. When this phase which is called GO Live activity will be completed then we will
start making report in which we will tell that what we have done in our activity. What we have
learned through that activity and what we have taught others through this activity. Was out
activity beneficial for others or not and what were the benefits that we get through this activity.
What will be our overall strategy for this project?
As there are many other projects too that we have to complete so we will be focusing on
teamwork because this is the only one strategy through which we are going to make our work
effective and will complete on time. Our overall strategy for this project will be that we are
going to discuss the project in the group and distribute the tasks between each member. We will
be trying to make this project sustainable. Our efforts would be to bring a change in the society.
We will try to teach girls that they are not weak; they can fight back against any violence. Now
days where women are targeted in abundance, the society must take some steps against these
animals. And also must teach our women that they can fight against it. We will try to teach ways
in which girls can protect themselves. As everyone knows that vacations are given to the schools,
colleges and universities so it would be difficult for us to gather children and women but as we
have a girl in our group she would gather women in her contact and children can be contacted
easily in the society so we will gather them and give them awareness and teach them self defense
technique.

Most importantly how will this project be Sustainable?


Our work is completely self-sustaining since we teach self-defense to the weakest members of
society, such as mothers and children. We are merely teaching children how to deal with danger,
not how to use violence. If we teach self-defense to the weak and equip them with tactics that
guide and assist them in staying safe, we can help them avoid danger. This will bring balance to
our society, and those who harass others and instill fear in others would think twice before
attacking someone who understands self-defense or has attended self-defense lessons.

What will be the tangible benefits to the society at large?


The tangible benefit the society at large will be everyone will be happy because he or she would
know how to protect themselves.Martial arts centre for self-defense training opens. This
initiative will assist the public at large by arming women and children with the tools they need to
deal with important circumstances like as harassment and bullying. The more people who study
self-defense in a society, the fewer incidences of harassment and bullying there are since the
person understands how to deal with the problem. Most women don't notice or feel threatened by
low voices or body language, therefore we taught them how to utilize their bodily senses to
detect danger and flee situations before they become a scene, and this knowledge benefits
everyone on an individual as well as societal or communal level.
Phase 4 (SDI Outcome)
Overall real time tangible benefits (value creation) that your project delivered
It Improves Situational Awareness:
Taking self-defense lessons is an excellent approach to improve your situational awareness.
While no one expects to be assaulted, self-defense lessons can help you be attentive and aware at
all times in the event of an emergency. Many seminars educate you to consider where you could
be assaulted and where your assailant might be hiding. Knowing these things can help you get
out of risky situations before they get out of hand.

It teaches us Self Discipline:


It is critical to acquire self-discipline in order to study and improve your self-defense skills. You
must be extremely driven and committed to your practice. The only way to assure that you are
prepared to face any threat is to practice, practice, and practice some more. Attending class and
arriving on time and on a regular basis aids in the development of discipline. Practice makes
perfect, just as in any other sport.

It improves Balance and control:


It is difficult for anyone to accomplish many tasks at once. Self-defense lessons, which demand a
lot of your body, teach you how to concentrate on your target while maintaining bodily control.
You will be perfectly prepared to defend yourself if you learn to balance and control both your
body and mind.

It brings Confidence:
Our culture is becoming increasingly hazardous, as we can see in the daily headlines. This is why
many individuals feel vulnerable when they leave their houses. Taking self-defense training is
the ideal approach to address this, as one of the most significant benefits is how you will feel
afterward. Your self-assurance grows with each passing day, and you develop into a stronger
individual capable of dealing with bullying.

The Benefits of Self-Defense Training in Schools


For our children, we all want the best. Their safety comes first, which is why self-defense
training is an important part of every child's education. There are various more advantages to top
quality self-defense training outside boosting your child's safety. Abilities in everyday life

School is a purposefully shielded atmosphere in which students may safely test their limits and
make errors. The safety walls are down outside of school, yet many students do not modify their
conduct properly. Understanding the different risks, such as terrorist attacks, and how to
recognize them early (and thereby avoid them) is a crucial first step.
Teaching Self Defense to the Children:
The potential to save oneself physically from damage is a basic human right that ought to be
accessible to each person, inclusive of children. Teaching children self-defense is something we
often overlook in these days, however it's miles of extreme significance. In an age when the
bullying epidemic in school is a massive problem, it is critical to ensure that our children can
protect themselves if the need arises.

Confidence and Personal Security Awareness:


Today's high school graduates have significantly greater self-assurance than their parents had at
the same age. This confidence is frequently accompanied with a lack of knowledge and capacity
to preserve personal safety, resulting in a vulnerability gap that can be exploited. Comprehensive
self-defense training fosters genuine self-assurance that is backed up by mental and physical
capacity, without fostering arrogance or a need to flaunt newly learned abilities. Self-defense
training should focus on recognizing and avoiding physical violence in the first place, as well as
defending and withdrawing if physical violence cannot be avoided.

DEVELOPS A FIGHTER’S REFLEX


You must move according to the methods when practicing self-defense. You can't stand still and
wait for your opponent to strike you. It aids in the development of reflexes in order to achieve a
fighter's reflex.

Improved Attendance:
Children leave school for a variety of reasons, some of which are related to bullying or the dread
of attending school in the first place. Children who are less afraid are more likely to go to school
and are less distracted when they are there.

Reduced bullying:
Potential victims of bullying are more likely to stand up to bullies and defend themselves if
required if they have enhanced confidence, stronger physical defense skills, and a better grasp of
individual rights. Furthermore, individuals considering exercising physical control over another
will be aware of the possible consequences, as well as the possibility of losing the engagement.
In my experience, aggressive persons who take up martial arts or anything similar become
calmer in the great majority of situations because they have a stress release. When this is not the
case, it is typically due to bad instruction from their instructor; hence it is critical that schools
hire a respected firm to conduct self-defense training.
Mental Resilience
Mental health is a big issue in schools, but teaching students how to develop mental resilience
may be difficult. Self-defense training is an excellent way to learn how to handle high-stress
situations. Various approaches, such as visualization and breathing, are available for dealing with
potentially risky situations. These techniques also have additional advantages, such as lowering
stress and promoting restful sleep, as well as preserving cognitive function and boosting test
scores. The latter is the main emphasis for parents, students, and schools.

Health and Safety Compliance


As annoying as it may be, all businesses, including schools, are required to follow health and
safety regulations. Every employer has the responsibility to conduct his business in such a way
that, to the extent reasonably practical, those not in his employ who may be impacted are not
exposed to health and safety hazards.' Customers, guests, contractors, and students, to mention a
few, are all examples of "persons not in employment." All hazards (including the danger of
violence) must be managed by appropriate training, information, guidance, and supervision. Self-
defense training is a relatively inexpensive, simple, and successful technique of achieving this
conformity, and it is also fun for the trainees when taught properly.

How did it benefit to the society at large?


One of the most significant benefits of attending self-defense training is how you will feel
afterward. Sure, most individuals are rather well-informed on how to defend themselves, but
acquiring new skills may help you gain even more confidence and knowledge about how to
avoid risks if they come your way. Self-defense lessons will help you gain self-assurance.

It helps to develop a warrior spirit:


We all see the news and see how bad things can get. Self-defense lessons will assist you in
developing a warrior spirit. We all know that the last thing we want to do if we are attacked is
get into our assailant's vehicle. Classes in self-defense can help you prepare for war and, more
importantly, survival. If you are assaulted, you do not want to flee to a safer location, and having
self-defense on your side can help you avoid this. You'll feel like "I'm going to make it here, not
down the road."

It brought Street awareness:


You certainly do not expect to be assaulted, but bad luck usually hits when you least expect it.
Self-defense training teaches you to be aware of your surroundings and to become a keen
observer in order to spot suspicious circumstances and danger quickly. You may be astonished
for the first few minutes, but the proper emotions will flow.

Positively Influence Life:


Self-defense training boosts your confidence and has a good impact on your life. Positive impact
would be that the person who has taken self defense classes can also help others. Taking self-
defense training, unlike many other things in life, will always have a beneficial impact on your
life. Every single one of the reasons stated above demonstrates this. Taking self-defense lessons
can lift your spirits and help you become a more confident and better person. It's vital to have
something in life that we can count on to make us happy, and these workshops provide exactly
that.

Teaching self defense to women:


Self-defense enables women to gain confidence, empower themselves, and find protection in
potentially dangerous situations. It is critical for women to do so; they should not be forced to
feel the way so many of them do.

It brings Self-respect:
Every self-defense practice begins with mutual respect and trust, with the purpose of learning
appropriate moves without damaging one another. Before you can respect others, you must first
respect yourself; your peers will only trust you if you trust yourself. Furthermore, you should
never underestimate, but rather respect, your opponent; you never know how difficult it will be
to win.

It's unfortunate that in today's fast-paced world, we're always surrounded by dangers and threats
to our safety. Everywhere you turn, there's a brawl on the streets or at a bar, or someone preying
on societies helpless. Being able to protect oneself against these underlying dangers in every
situation is both a confidence booster and a reassurance to your overall well-being. If you're still
not convinced, examine the following reasons why self-defense is so necessary in today's
society.

It Is Confidence Building:
One of the most significant benefits of attending self-defense training is how you will feel
afterward. Sure, most people are quite well-informed about how to defend themselves, but
acquiring skills like krav maga methods will help you gain even more confidence and
understanding about how to defend yourself if danger comes your way. Self-defense lessons will
help you gain self-assurance.

It Improves Your Overall Physical Conditioning:


A self-defense class's main goal is to prepare you for any risky event that might injure you or
your loved ones. When it comes to self-defense, physical training is one of the most important
components. Lessons and training prepare you for the adrenaline surge that comes with being in
a fight or flight situation. Because an adrenaline surge only lasts a few seconds, you must be
physically prepared to cope with your circumstance effectively. Your body will not perform as
efficiently as it should if you are not in decent physical shape. Physical training will aid in the
development of reflexes and general strength.
Develop That Fighting Spirit:
We are continually presented with the dreadful things that are happening all around us whether
we open newspapers or watch the news on television. Such news may frequently dampen our
emotions and make us feel pessimistic about the world. Self-defense lessons will assist you in
combating this emotion and developing a battling warrior attitude. If we ever find ourselves in a
situation where we are attacked, the last thing we want to do is submit to our attacker. Self-
defense program instill in you the attitude of "never give up" and prepare you for combat and
survival.

HELPS IN GOAL SETTING:


Goal-setting is aided by self-defense classes. You're setting a goal whether you want to master a
certain move or feel confident in your ability to defend yourself. It will help you get back into
class each week and in your daily life. It aids in the development of a drive that you may not
have had previously. If you take goal setting seriously in self-defense training, it can carry over
into your regular life, assisting you in overcoming any difficult situation that may arise.

It Gives You Peace of Mind:


Last but not least, learning self-defense is the most effective approach to keep your mind at
peace. Instead of fretting every time you go to a pub or a club, you'll be able to relax and enjoy
your time with your friends and loved ones, knowing that you're prepared to manage any
unpleasant circumstance that arises..

The challenges/hurdles that your group experienced during the real time
execution of this project

• It was harder to gather the audience


• The video shooting part was a bit tougher
• We were unable to search a professional Self Defence Instructors.
• It takes longer to edit the video
• The concept was tougher to practically implement, that was a bit tiring for us.
• It took us a lot of time to find trained trainers
• Time-management became an issue because holidays came in and our project mates went
back to their home towns.
• All group mates came up with lots of ideas thatare why it was tougher to include all of
their ideas or to select the few ones.
Phase 5 (Learning Lesson)
Q1: What new skills your group developed?
So basically we worked with some of the fellows and our main focus was the awareness of self
Defense, and by teaching them we tried to develop confidence, improve focus, and develop
skills, physical health, street awareness, balance and self-discipline in them, team work,
managing skills, work in pandemic or any other difficult situation (problem solving), completing
targets. Explanation is the following:

Confidence in Participant’s

Some of our members were also lacking in confidence to fight against the evil but when
they were taught about self defense they feel confident to fight against any issue because
they know by teaching them the self-defense they are now pretty sure that now they are
going to use it as a tool and skills them need to assess a dangerous situation with
confidence and conquer it successfully by saving your own life.

2. Improve Focus on target


We are all busy at times, but this project has taught us how to stay focused on the task that we
are now doing. Now they would have an improved focus and concentration. So as a result it
would have taught them to focus in stressful situations. It means that they can easily identify
their enemy or the person with whom they feel danger.

3. Develop Skills of self defense


They would have learnt the basic moves and more intricate skills to defend themselves during
the attack. They have learned the moves with accurate timing that they only use their ability in
positive way and only when they have used these moves and skills. For example, they can use
these skills or moves when they feel that they are or some other person is in danger so they can
use it and help other people with it.
4. Physical Health improvement
As we know that self-defense offers fun and powerful way to train the body, it helps to burn
calories and improves physical health. So we also have done the training of self defense for
physical health improvement. They have definitely learnt the exercises that help to improve
mood, and would help them lower their depression and such other issues.Obviously, when we
feel healthy by mentally and physically so are able to face the problems with full power and
ability.

5. Street awareness (society)


Self-defense will enhance awareness to them of their surroundings. Some of our members were
unaware of this so they also get to know about it. We never know when you can get in danger, so
they would be now ready for such circumstances. Self-defense training gave us awareness
according to that we need to stay active all the time because the enemy will attack anytime. So it
means that if you are going through a street or anywhere else you must stay active and must
notice your surrounding that if someone is going to attack on you, so you can handle it easily and
surprise the enemy by failing his/her attack.

6. Balance
Our member also took the session of self defense then they are aware that improving balance not
only includes the physical balance of your core muscles but also a mental balance for improving
your focus. By teaching them self-defense they have learnt how to focus on the target by
balancing their body. Without balance it is impossible to fight. And self-defense training helps us
a lot to maintain our balance (mentally and physically fit). Both helps you while facing any kind
of difficult situation like by mentally fitness you will understand that the enemy is going to
attack on you and you will able to know that how much he is powerful and the second one
physical fitness will help you to attack on him and injured him/her.

7. Self-discipline
We are pretty sure that now they would have a better self-discipline in their lives by staying
dedicated to the practice. Self-defense training is like that it teaches us how treat with innocent
people and how to react with the cruel people. We actually need to act humbly if you have
learned the self-defense training.

8. Team Work
Actually, when you are learning the techniques of self-defense your guide or teacher will also
teach you how to work in a team and achieve the common goals which will be helpful for your
team as well as it will be helpful for the other people.
9. Managing skills
During the training, you will also learn the managing skills like it will be helpful for you when
you are facing some issues and then you will be able to solve those problems in a good way, like
first of all you will understand the problem and then make a plan to solve out that problem. Like
if someone is going to attack on you so, you should know that how you can beat him/her means
how firstly you attack and lay down on him.

10. How to Work in Pandemic


The situations which disturbs the whole world like pandemic Covid 19 so we actually need to
understand the situation first and then by following the SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedure’s)
we can continue our classes like according to SOP covid 19 we actually need to maintain proper
distance with each other (6 feet) and must wear a Mask so, such kind of instructions are helpful
and by following these instructions we can continue our classes of Self-defense training.

11. Communication Skills


During this project, we have learned the communication skills by communicating the problems
and issues with each other’s and with the students to whom we had taught the self-defense
training. During the project, I prefer to talk with everyone in a good way that he will take interest
in doing the project or his/her part.

12. Time Management


While doing this project, we have learned to maintain the time in such way that everyone will
take part in all kind of activities and time has been management in a way that our all activities
have been in appropriate time that all the other group members are easily available there. So, we
have learned the time management while doing this project.

13. Punctuality
When we were doing this project all the group members doing their parts with full responsibility
for taking interest to complete this project. All the group members have sent their parts or
activity in their specific time that is really necessary for the perfect completion of the project.

14. Target Completion


Target completion is also a main point while we are working in a form of a group. Because in a
group all the members have the same and common goals or targets that they need to achieve with
the help of best team work management. As well as in our group all the members worked in a
proper way to achieve the common targets. Our group target or mission is to achieve our
common goals and complete our project with full competencies.
Q2: Concepts, theories and applications executions on this project?

(1) Basically the concept of ethics and morals relate to right and wrong conduct. Ethics
refers to rules provided by an external source and morals refer to an individual’s own
principles regarding right and wrong.
Killing and harming others are paradigmatic wrong. But there is one intuitive exception
to this prohibition which is self-defense.
For example attacker is culpably trying to kill the victim because he is jealous of his
success. Victim can save his own life by doing self-defense. So in self-defense this
concept is very important and this concept was implemented by giving them the basic
training about self-defense and telling them about the right and wrong and by ensuring
them what to do in such situations.

(2) The concept of motivation is very relatable to self Defense. We all know that girls
and women’s are facing many issues in the society so self-defense for them to learn
is very important now days. The thing that stops them is lack of motivation. There
are many programs and seminars related to self Defense in which they are motivated
so that they should overcome this laciness and decide to learn about self-defense
which will make them feel safe in the society. So like this motivation is related to
our project.

(3) The concept of Maslow hierchery of need also defines self defense in a
comprehensive way, such as it says that safety needand safety deal with protection
and survival from chaotic situation and physical dangers in human environment. As
we know that safety needs or security needs deal with protection and survival from
chaotic situations, social disorder, social disturbance and physical dangers in human
environment. The examples of chaotic situations are: terrorism, kidnapping, armed
robbery, killings among others which usually threaten peaceful co-existence and
harmonious living of people in various communities in the society in the
contemporary human environment. So according to the situation safety need is fully
related to our project.
Q3: Hardships faced and how we overcome them?
The biggest problem related to our project was that it was about teaching self-defense to
women’s and children’s. So we contacted a club so that a secession of 2 hours should be held
where we can teach them self-defense. But when we were going to shoot the video by going
physically there the government of Pakistan gave the holidays due to which schools, colleges,
universities and clubs closed. Now we were in serious problem how to gather people to shoot
video. Else another issue was that some of our group members went to their homes due to which
our coordination broke down. We all were in a great tension that we might we could not shoot
our video and without video our project was useless. But it is said that when Allah close one
door he give us some other way to help us. So in the end by doing a great effort we collected
some people so that we could shoot our video. So these were some serious problems we faced
while making our final project.

And on the other hand, the problem is to give training to the students because girls or women
feel embarrassment while doing such kind of activities or training. So, our other task is to
maintain the balance their interest in this course that they easily and happily learned the self-
defense training although it will be helpful for them in future. So, we motivate them by telling
them some stories and by telling benefits of self-defense training. And in the end they have
learned some moves and skills enough that they are now able to save themselves if they feel any
kind of danger in their surroundings.

Q4: What was our overall experience?


Our group members were cooperative and they knew the importance of this project so our
overall experience regarding the group members was good. While shooting the video we faced
some issues but by the passage of time we solved and overcome them. Especially for majority of
our members this kind of project was new and innovative. While doing this project we get to
know that people were willing for such opportunity to avail it and learn something new from it
which could be helpful in their lives. We get to know about the nature of many people, how
cooperative they were.

Also we all are now able to identify our self that how much we are able to face the problems and
in which way we will tackle with the issues or problems. I have noticed that before this project
we all are not much able to tackle the problems in a good way that it will not hurt other people
but now we are able to face the problems in a proper way that we can tackle problems and it will
be beneficial for other people also.

While working together in a group was an excellent experience.


Q5: Were there any gaps identified which you might have wished to eradicate?
The gap that we faced during this project was lockdown. We could not gather many children and
women to show and teach them the ways to protect themselves from violence. We wish we could
eradicate that. And also due to lockdown we could not have much physical meetings.

CONCLUSION
At the end when we completed our activity and research work regarding self defense we noticed
that the hostile environment we live in, self-defense training has become important. However, to
get the most out of self-defense, choose a gym that offers the best self-defense lessons in Fort
Worth.
