Analyze what to practice first. 1, About Women's Self-Defense In women's self-defense, many movements are more complicated and difficult, which requires a certain foundation of Sanda and fighting. If you like women's self-defense, it is suggested that you learn Sanda or Taekwondo for a few days, master the strength of fists, feet, elbows and knees, and then learn women's self-defense and practice every movement with ease. Women's self-defense is not a comprehensive fighting skill, but an excerpt of some Sanda movements, and the difficulty is not well grasped, and some movements are not suitable for beginners. 2. Sanda. Sanda is a comprehensive and promising fighting technique, which is practical and easy to use. As long as you practice hard, you can basically defend yourself for one year, and you can have good skills in three or five years. You can beat off three or four gangsters (empty-handed, or equipped with equipment) and protect others like the heroine on TV. It is also possible for girls with weak physique to develop super explosive power as long as they are trained scientifically. In reality, there are many women who know martial arts and weigh eighty or ninety pounds. You don't need a lot of muscles. This will be explained in detail below. 3. Family boxing. Neijia boxing is more promising. There are hundreds of family boxing in China, which is a relatively advanced martial art. However, it is more difficult to learn from the teacher, and the progress is slow, and the practice process is too boring, so it is not recommended to do it within the family. 4. taekwondo. Taekwondo is a popular fighting skill at present, which is of great benefit to strengthening the strength and flexibility of waist and legs and improving physical fitness. It can be practiced as a fitness exercise. Taekwondo is not effective in actual combat because it is not a fully developed fighting skill. It will take at least three years to make a difference and beat one or two stronger boys. Although there is a black belt for a year and a half, it is by no means something that a girl with average physical quality can do. 5. Karate. Karate is not good. Because for girls, it is devastating to practice breaking bricks every day. 6. Muay Thai is too painful and harmful to the body. Not recommended. 7, the room against violence and aggression, "armed" against violence and aggression. These are used by women with low martial arts for self-defense. If you want to be a master, don't stick to these tricks. Becoming a master requires a variety of physical and technical qualities, which cannot be taught by "defending against aggression". 8. Tai Chi. "Tai Chi never goes out for ten years" has a slow effect and is not suitable for young people who pursue quick success and instant benefit. To sum up, practicing Sanda is the most suitable. The correct approach can avoid all kinds of bad situations. The question of whether to grow muscles. In fact, don't worry about building a lot of muscles. Because: 1. Muscles are hard to build. Unless you do heavy static training every day (weightlifting, big dumbbells ...), it is difficult for even men to practice muscles, and it is even more difficult for women to practice muscles. 2. If you master the power skills, you can make quick moves, and consciously pursue the speed of punching and kicking. Practice fast boxing 100 times and fast kicking 50 times every day, and make quick moves at the fastest speed, and your body will automatically adapt to your requirements, automatically limit the expansion of muscles and reduce the weight of limbs. You can have super explosive power, slender and beautiful limbs. 3. Adhere to flexible training. People with poor flexibility can only mobilize 30%~40% of this muscle in one action (especially leg muscles, flexibility plays a key role). People with good flexibility may mobilize 70%~80%. In this way, the same chubby person, the strength of an action is 4-5 times different (strength = strength * speed, double strength, constant weight, double speed, so the strength is 4 times). This is why two people look exactly alike, and those who know martial arts are much better than those who don't. The female soldiers in the special forces look exactly like other beautiful women, but their fighting capacity is ten times that of people. In China, martial arts don't need much effort, mainly because it is skillful, so big men are not recommended. Many experts have thinner legs than ordinary people. Look at the modern martial artists in China. Most of them are thin. Elegant movements: In fact, most martial arts are quite elegant. I'll tell you the types of elegance: Nanquan, Judo, Xingyiquan, Gracie. In addition to these, the aesthetic effect of other martial arts is ok.
