Where can I learn self defence techniques?
Due to work committments I cannot take a long course.
Was interested in Aikido coz it works on the principle that
little physical
force is required, however it will take forever for
me to pick up self defence skills.
Are there other places that teach self defence, short course, where
little physical force is required?
Thanks
I take it you mean less muscle power required? If you want to
use less muscle, then you will have to develop internal energy
which takes longer than training muscles.
Easy, "short-cut"
route, less powerful.
Tae Kuan Do, Shotokan Karate, Wing Chun - train muscle + train
technique
Hard, long route,
much more powerful.
Tai Chi Quan, Shaolin Luohan etc - train internal energy + train
flexibility/body mobility + train technique
