The Jukido Academy of Martial Arts has provided women’s self-defense clinics both at our main school in Palm Coast, Florida as well as providing these clinics for many local organizations on site.

Front Choke Defense at Women's Self-Defense Seminar - Kim Fitzgerald, certified instructor, watches over technique to ensure quality of performance One of our dojo’s central codes is the practice of benevolence. With benevolence in mind, our school provides various women’s self defense clinics for the local community for FREE. This community service clinic serves to educate women not only in some basic self-defense techniques, but more importantly, on the important of practicing the most important rules of safety and awareness.

The techniques taught in these specialized clinics draw from the most basic & effective techniques of jujitsu and karate. The information and lecture portion of these clinics, which in many ways is more important then the techniques, is simple, straight forward, and empowers women to take a more active role in their safety.

In addition to providing semi-regular clinics at our own school, we provide clinics for organizations and schools. Some of the local organizations that have requested our services on an ongoing basis are:

  • Daytona State College (Palm Coast Campus) – Psychology Department
  • University of Central Florida (Daytona Beach Campus) – Women’s Mental Health
  • Radiology Associates:
    • Palm Coast Imaging
    • St. Augustine Imaging
    • Twin Lakes Imaging
  • Women in Networking – Lectures on Women’s Safety – Palm Coast, FL
  • City of Flagler Beach, Florida
  • Flagler Beach Police Department
  • NASCAR - Self-Defense cllasses for employees of NASCAR headquarters in Daytona Beach, FL
  • Fitness One – Palm Coast, Florida

 

Question and Answer session Participants to our clinics often comment as to how our clinics are not an “infomercial” for our school but rather focus on the common needs of women in an organized, concise, and realistic way. In addition to enjoying  & benefiting from the clinic, various women have written to recommend us to other women’s groups and organizations.

One of the points of pride for our school is the large membership of girls & women. Our school has a nearly 50/50 split in our black belt ranks between men & women. In our overall membership, approximately 40% is female. For girls & women looking for self-defense & martial arts beyond a single clinic, we have vast experience meeting the needs of female students. Additionally, our curriculum focus on a martial arts program designed for realistic self-defense – where the reality is that size and strength are usually factors against women victims. With the Jukido approach to martial arts, women learn how to utilize motion, energy, and various techniques to turn the attackers superior size and strength against them.

If you are interested in having us provide a specialized clinic for your local school, company, church, or club, please contact us via e-mail at: info@floridajukido.com or 386-445-8754.
