Goshin Waza

The idea of self-defense or Goshin Waza should be thought of in a broader sense than just physical techniques. In our Kids Class this idea has been expanded by each instructor high-lighting a different aspect of self-defense. Some have included the use of one's voice and general area awareness.

In my recent class I high-lighted fire safety and the idea of: Stop, Drop and Roll. The North Spokane County Fire Department in Eastern Washington have a wonderful image, see below, describing what to do in case your clothes catch fire.





With the week of October 4 to 10 being Fire Safety Week, the timing was most appropriate.

What are some ways you practice self-defense on a regular basis?
