Overview:

The world is becoming an ever increasingly violent and dangerous place.  It is no longer safe to walk the streets at night for fear of some unspeakable indecency happening to us.  The nightly news is full of stories or rape, murder, muggings and assault.  Because of this, we should all be able to defend ourselves and our family in a time of need.  What we all need is the ability to fight off offenders so these types of crimes can no longer be committed.  This web site will provide you with those means.

The Tae Shin Do Self Defence is one of the most versatile and simple methods currently on the market.  Almost anyone of any sex and any age can learn these simple and easy to learn techniques.  Tae Shin Do is a complete self defence package that provides the user with an arsenal of effective techniques that can be used in almost any type of threatening situation.

Loosely translated, Tae Shin Do means "the new way".  Primarily based on Ju Jitsu, Tae Shin Do is a combination of styles of martial art including Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Aikido and Wing Chun, all combined to provide a total self defence package.  Together, these techniques combine seamlessly to give its user the confidence and abilities required to repel just about any type of attack imaginable, either in a non-violent or aggressive nature, all within the legal guidelines of reasonable force.

You don't need to be super fit, strong or flexible to be able to perform these techniques.  They are styled around a principle called the "Small Circle Theory".
