An Efficacious Learning Experience About Self-Defense

Out of all the numerous workshops I have attended in my entire school life, the

Self-Defense Workshop by Krav Maga proved to be one of the most effective and retaining to

me. During the event, I was able to discover so many things about self-defense: how essential it

is for a vulnerable college girl like me living in the VOCA world; the fact that learning how to

do so does not require me to be particularly athletic; and how simple it is to learn and practice

the steps that you can even rehearse it at home. Suffice to say, my overall learning experience

was truly worth it.

Looking back, I myself was quite nervous and bubbling with anticipation before the

workshop started. I remember being intimidated by the instructor due to his towering height and

booming voice. I also recall being awed and impressed by his way of teaching and

demonstration, despite my initial intimidation. To add the cherry on top, it also happened that our

instructor possessed such a great sense of humor that I, along with my other companions, found

ourselves laughing at almost every pun he made. Our instructor even made a joke about

punching someone in the face (or anywhere in particular) legally and getting away with it. As

entertaining as our workshop was and as efficacious as it was, I was glad that the event turned

out to be fruitful for everyone involved.

By the end of our session, I was a little ecstatic and proud to be equipped with newfound

knowledge and confidence about self-defense. Despite how simple and basic the steps our

instructor taught us were, I could not deny that they were still effective and useful nonetheless.

And I believe that everyone involved in the workshop thought the same. If given the opportunity
to attend another workshop like that, I would definitely and willingly involve myself in it with a

hundred percent of my cooperation.
