Toronto, Canada, Safe International Expands Women's Self Defense Lessons in Greater Toronto Area

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2010 -- Toronto, ON, -- Safe International is the leading provider of self defense training in Canada for women and men in the private, corporate and high school settings. It currently operates throughout Ontario and is now expanding its women’s Toronto self defense lessons throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Safe International is a mobile self defense company which has taught more than 100 000 women since 1994!

Chris Roberts, teaching director, says that one of his favourite reasons for teaching women is how receptive they are to the skills that Safe provides. He attributes this to their appreciating the value in what Safe International http://www.safeinternational.biz offers. One in four women will be assaulted during their lifetime, so these skills may have very personal meaning. While most men are receptive, they are usually more interested on a different level involving the male ego and wanting to know how to fight. Women are interested in learning, based more on their survival in today’s reality. Each skill or tactic shown could potentially save their life and you can see it in the way they practice and adopt the new skills. Women have more personal reasons to learn these skills.

A major focus of the Safe course is the “Awareness and Intuition” training in which stories are shared and potentially dangerous situations are discussed such as being followed, elevator safety, taxis, dating, etc. The instructors find that women are very willing to share their stories and feelings of fear, since they don’t have the same pressure on them to be “The Man” like many men who find it a weakness to ever admit having felt fear. Chris Roberts has heard thousands of stories from his students. In a way much of the Safe course has been designed around the sharing of successes and tragedies of many of the clients.

The number one reason women tell Chris they love the course, is that it has been designed to be serious but also fun, which makes the learning experience that much more memorable. Chris once conducted a seminar for a large corporation and within the first few minutes there were literally 10 women shaking and looking unusually nervous. Chris asked the woman in charge what was going on? She indicated that they had once done a self defense course and within the first few minutes the head instructor had all the lights shut off and his assistants began grabbing the women to see how they might react.
