Stressed training and target indexing

The methodology that Warrior Women Self Offense uses to train the students is as simple as the techniques that it employs. Targets are taught to the student as well as correct weapons and ways to deliver the weapon to the target. Then, during stressed training or dynamic delivery of these techniques these correct targets, weapons, and delivery systems are burned into the muscle memory of the student, effectively modifying reactions of the student.

What may have been the flight instinct when reacting to an assailant grabbing for the victims shoulders displayed by the victim pulling the arms in and crouching, can be changed into the fight response of thrusting the fingers into the assailants eyes.

Instructors at WWSO employ specially designed suits that allow students to engage in realistic full force combat with assailants. The difference in these suits and others that you may have seen, is that they fully protect the wearer yet are still compact enough that the wearer still resembles an actual human being.

The suit also has, on the exterior, marked target areas that correspond with the correct target areas taught to the students. The student receives real full force practice in delivering the techniques on a living, breathing, swearing and sweating assailant.

And yes, the instructors will use foul language and call you names. They will grab and group at you like a criminal would. Though this sounds over the top it isn't. It is necessary so that the student can be inoculated against the mind freezing stress that come with real life violent assaults.
