I’m Coach Belbin. If you’re reading this, you probably want to feel safer, stronger, and more in control when life gets unpredictable. My women’s self‑defence sessions are built for real‑world scenarios, a supportive pace, and results you can feel in your posture, your voice, and your everyday confidence.

First, keep this long‑form foundation handy: Complete Guide to Self‑Defence Training in Coimbatore. What follows is the women‑focused version of that playbook—practical, respectful, and immediately useful.

Why a women‑focused approach matters

Self‑defence isn’t about turning you into a fighter overnight. It’s about building choices: where to stand, what to say, how to move, and—only when needed—how to break contact and leave. Women often face unique contexts (crowded commutes, social boundary testing, unwanted physical contact). We train for those realities without drama.

What you’ll notice within a few weeks:

• Your hands come up naturally when someone gets too close.
• Your voice gets clearer and more assertive.
• You move your body with balance and purpose.

Realistic scenarios we practice (step‑by‑step)

• Commute and rideshare boundaries: entry/exit positioning, seat choices, verbal scripts
• Street approach and being followed: angles, space creation, eyes up, exit plan
• Social boundary resets: clear voice, hands visible, firm stance, “no” with options
• Wrist/arm grabs: thumb‑side escapes + step‑backs to rebuild distance
• Hair grabs and clinch: framing the head/shoulders, short strikes to create a gap
• Ground to feet: simple stand‑ups that work when startled

We start slow. You’ll never be forced into a situation you aren’t ready for. Comfort first, then controlled pressure, then realistic drills.

The core skill pillars (the ones that actually help)

1. Awareness & positioning
   • Scan exits, lighting, obstacles. Keep your hands visible. Don’t get pinned to walls.
2. Voice & boundary setting
   • Short scripts: “Stop. I don’t want this. I’m leaving.” Tone steady; body square; eyes forward.
3. Stance & movement
   • Open‑palm guard, elbows in, chin tucked. Glide your feet; don’t cross your legs.
4. Striking essentials
   • Palm strikes, elbows, and knees. No fancy; all reliable. Short, sharp, and back to guard.
5. Grip breaks
   • Wrist grabs (rotate to thumb gap), two‑on‑one pulls, hair‑grab frames.
6. Ground to standing
   • Protect your face, frame with forearms, hip‑bridge, and stand to exit.

What a typical class looks like

• Arrival & check‑in (2–3 min): you share anything I should know (injury, energy, comfort levels)
• Warm‑up (5–8 min): breath work, posture drills, stance/movement
• Technique block (15–20 min): one or two core skills (e.g., palm → knee; wrist release → step‑off)
• Controlled practice (15–20 min): partner drills with clear roles and consent cues
• Scenario round (5–10 min): short, realistic scenario at your chosen intensity
• Cooldown & Q&A (5 min): what was tricky, what felt good, what to practice at home

You’re always in control. If a drill feels too much, we scale it. My job is to challenge you safely—not overwhelm you.

Safety, privacy, and respect (non‑negotiables)

• You choose your partners. You can switch any time—no questions asked.
• Consent language is built into drills: “ready?”, “reset”, “stop”.
• No surprises. I explain a drill; you see it; then you try it—with options.
• You can train in a regular class or ask for women‑only slots and small groups.

How progress really works (expectations)

Week 1–2: Your stance and guard start feeling natural. Your voice gets clearer.

Week 3–4: Your palm/elbow/knee mechanics tighten up. You start creating space on cue.

Week 5+: You handle light resistance calmly. You recognize risky positions early and move smart.

The goal isn’t a belt. It’s quiet confidence in everyday life.

Quick FAQ (the ones I hear most)

“Do I need to be strong or fit to start?”
No. We build your base first—posture, breath, movement.

“Will I have to spar?”
No. This is self‑defence first. Any pressure is controlled, optional, and explained.

“What if I’ve had a bad experience in the past?”
Tell me privately what you’re comfortable sharing. We’ll train at your pace with full respect.

At‑home practice (10–15 minutes)

• 2 minutes breathing + posture
• 3 minutes stance + movement (hands up, smooth steps)
• 3 minutes palm → elbow → knee shadow reps
• 3 minutes wrist‑release reps (turn to thumb gap, step‑back)
• 2 minutes boundary‑setting lines out loud (steady pace, neutral tone)

Do this 3×/week and your confidence will change how you carry yourself.

What to bring / wear

• Comfortable clothes and a hair tie if needed
• Water bottle; towel if you like
• Optional: light gloves (I have spares)

What students tell me

“Coach, I came because of the commute. I stayed because I realized I’m stronger than I thought.”
“I didn’t know how much my posture and voice would change everything.”
