Self Defense Classes Arlington VA

By Lessie Kaufman


Northern Virginia is an affluent area, with many safe neighborhoods. However, parts of this densely populated suburb of DC have a pretty high crime rate. For this reason, residents may want to take advantage of the many self defense classes Arlington VA offers. There are other reasons, as well, that this sort of course can be good for adults, children, and teens.

Many institutions that teach martial arts offer after-school care. Parents have found that the combination of physical activity and lessons in self-control, teamwork, and social skills gives kids something they may not find elsewhere. Certainly simply interacting with their peers in unsupervised ways or retreating inside to play computer games or watch television does not give them these benefits.

Public school buses drop kids off at after-school care centers by pre-arrangement, and many activity centers have buses of their own to transport kids. Parents who may still be working when school lets out know that their kids are enjoying physical activity in a safe, supervised environment. It's more than playtime, too, since this kind of program teaches both protective and social skills.

It's entirely possible in today's world to be confronted by hostility on the street or even at home when assailants are bent on robbery or assault. Martial arts offer one way to confront and, if necessary, repel physical aggression. Other disciplines focus on instinctive and reflex reactions, teaching students how to use these responses to deter or battle aggression. Fear management is another skill that is important in times of danger.

Some of the disciplines have come down from ancient times, while others have been invented more recently. Developing self-confidence is both a goal and a result of this kind of training. Even those who may never have to face an assailant will benefit from knowing how to handle themselves in a physical confrontation. This carries over into other areas of social interaction as well. Learning respect for others is an essential part of this training; the manners taught come in handy for all life's demands.

Many people attend the classes for physical fitness. Going to the gym for solitary workouts is boring, but group classes can really be fun. Seniors find that defensive discipline restore balance and mental clarity. All of us know that regular physical activity is good for us, makes us look and feel better, and is a major part of weight control.

Ju-Jitsu, Tai Chi, and Tae-Kwon-Do have become familiar to many of us in the West, but there are other martial arts, like Kendo, Iaido, and Aikido, that may be unfamiliar. It's possible to observe classes in order to choose a discipline. Some centers even offer free classes for a real taste of what to expect. Competitive sports like fencing, kickboxing, and boxing are also offered. Defensive gun handling is offered at some shooting ranges.

Many places offer free classes, and you can also observe a class to see if you or your child are interested in what's going on. There is instruction in both unarmed combat and the use of weapons. Even defensive pistol classes are offered at some shooting ranges. Skill level and state of physical fitness and ability are assessed in course suitability recommendations.
