PKA is overwhelmed and proud by the response to our many Women’s Self-Defense Programs.

Our main course has been written up by such local periodicals as the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and as you can see by checking out the reference section of our site, the program quickly exploded from a Community program to a local group and organizational program to a customized corporate program.

The PKA Karate Academy also is the only school to offer this program for fund-raising, taking the place of selling CANDY, MAGAZINES and mundane WRAPPING PAPER. This revolutionary concept was initially brought about through the use of our Women’s Self-Defense Program, and now it of course expanded to include ALL of our training programs. What a true win-win!

The genesis of our Self-Defense program was to create an intensive, hands-on training curriculum, by which women are given an opportunity to take an active part in learning dynamic, street scenarios and concepts with absolutely no strings attached, while at the same time having modular blocks to meet every student’s training goals. Some students are looking for just a couple private sessions, others want or need a more tailored four-week program, still others six or longer. Our program is modular and builds, yet gives the student immediate, core, proven elements that work in the NOW.

Ladies get an extreme brush-stroke view of cutting-edge, modern, training in one-hour group sessions or customized to fit any time slot that is available. Companies have the option of either on-site or in-house for scheduling their training sessions, depending on whether their facility can handle the number of people or safety equipment for the material to be covered.

Personal students always have the option of training in a group or in a private setting.

Some of the initial topics covered:

Each group of ladies is different and no two classes are ever the same. Based on questions and the direction which the ladies drive the class, groups may surpass the initial detailed four page training syllabus which guides these ladies on the road to self-defense, confidence and technique.

No one is required or permitted to participate in any portion of the course or drills & techniques that one feels are too physically demanding or uncomfortable.
