Why Maria DiDio’s “Rose & Thorn” Self Defense Fighting System for Women?

Crime statistics are at an all time high. Due to budgetary constraints in Police Departments a police officer cannot be there at your beck-&-call every time you may need them. Nor will your man. The days of the knight in shining armor are a fairy tale. Women need to learn valuable skills to defend their lives and the lives of their children.

This program is specifically designed for a woman. Multiple Martial Arts techniques are combined with “Street Smart” self-defense concepts so that a woman will be able to defend herself in any situation.

Any woman at any age can learn to defend herself against an attacker, with a few well placed moves. You will learn the difference between what techniques are more effective compared to techniques that you might already know. This system also teaches techniques to control your breathing in high intensity situations. Developing your breathing will develop your power, strength and speed while performing well placed moves to disarm and subdue an attacker. 

Women’s Self Defense is not complicated. It is a very useful tool that is encouraged to be reinforced by consistent training. If you take the time weekly to get your hair and nails done, a Women’s Self Defense program such as Maria DiDio’s “Rose & Thorn” Self Defense Fighting System for Women is a perfect compliment for your time. The techniques you use are life saving. Our seminars are a quick start for immediate Self Defense, Awareness and Rape Prevention knowledge. You will learn that 90% of Self Defense is attitude and awareness. The rest is well placed and very effective technique.
