Boston Martial Arts - African Self Defense Training
July 2009
Newton-Tanzania Collaborative's In Field Project Director, Lisa Walker came to the Roshankish Martial Arts Center for instruction in self-protection, whilst travelling internationally in developing countries. Rather than simply teaching self-defense techniques, Boston based self-defense instructor, Gershon Ben Keren designed the training sessions to include entry and exit strategies into and out of countries, travel security, techniques for securing hotel/hostel rooms along with the use of CS Spray and simple self-defense techniques. Lisa will be spending a year in Tanzania teaching English at the Kwala Secondary School Mahundi Primary School, and will work on NTC projects with NTC Tanzania Advisor Athuman Msangi. Much of the self-defense and self-protection training that Lisa received is included in our women's self-defense courses. Gershon is also available for private training sessions for specific needs such as security when travelling, back-packing, corporate events etc. To read more about our Women's Self Defense Program in Boston please click here.
Boston Martial Arts - Free Women's Self Defense Seminar
July 2009
The Roshankish Martial Arts Center in Medford, Boston, runs several free women's self defense seminars throughout the year. The 15 attendees at this seminar were taught how to increase their situational awareness so as to identify sexual predators, look at the methods these individuals use to lower their victims defenses and teach them the use of CS (Pepper) Spray, using inert sprays in order to fend off attacks. Simple escapes and basic striking was taught along with the contexts within which such self-protection solutions would be appropriate. This was then all put to the test using Redman Simulation suits.
