Learning self-defence is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it can help you protect yourself in dangerous situations and potentially prevent harm or injury. This can be particularly important for individuals who may be at a higher risk for physical attacks or violence. Secondly, knowing self-defense techniques can help build confidence and mental resilience. It can give you a sense of empowerment and control over your safety in situations where you may feel vulnerable or intimidated. Lastly, learning self-defence can also have practical benefits such as improving physical fitness, coordination, and overall health. It can also be a fun and social activity that promotes self-discipline and personal growth..
