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.
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.
5. Equip you with the skills you'll need to manage an attack on your own.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The challenges/hurdles that your group experienced during the real time
execution of this project
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.
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.
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.
(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.
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.
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.
