The Self-Defence Myth: Why You Won’t “Rise to the Occasion” Without Training

Self-defence isn’t about memorising a few moves in a short course—it’s about strength, fitness, and consistent training. In a real confrontation, you don’t rise to the occasion; you fall to the level of your training. Quick-fix self-defence courses prey on fear but fail to prepare you for reality. The only way to be truly capable of defending yourself is to train regularly, build physical resilience, and develop instinctive reactions. At Bang Bang Muay Thai, we don’t sell illusions—we build strong, confident women who are ready for anything.
