Why 

should 

study?

Why are we the only female species that ask that question?  

No other female of any species questions the fact that she is responsible for her own safety, that of her offspring and her community.

The question should not be, why should I study, but why study Tora KiDo?


Tora KiDO is a simplified, streamlined martial art that quickly enables a practitioner to defend herself against attackers from any other martial art styles or street fighters.

Tora KiDo’s dynamic concepts are based on scientific principles of anatomy and biokinetics as well as psychology and strategy. It is well suited for women of all sizes because physical strength and athletic abilities are not essential. The emphasis is on redirecting the assailant’s aggression and power back toward them with little effort and minimum force on your part.

Rather than relying on age-old tactics and trying to increase your own strength until it is superior to that of an attacker, Tora KiDo teaches you to literally “borrow” your attacker’s force in order to keep yourself out of harm’s way. At the same time, Tora KiDo's training enables women to position their arms and legs in such a way that preemptive counterattacks automatically flow together with simultaneous defensive actions, so that a man with superior strength is prevented from ever using his size and power to his advantage. This creates a structural advantage for the Tora KiDo practitioner that eliminates the need for second-guessing an opponent’s intentions and his next maneuver.
We teach you how to apply these techniques to both the physical arena and the mental / emotional arena of your life.

It is this need for second-guessing an attackers move that is responsible for the typical “freeze up” resulting from mental/emotional overload when we are confronted with a real-life threat to our personal safety. Tora KiDo training short-circuits this inhibitive mental process by “automating” the students’ reactions according to the actual power input from an attacker. This frees our mind to stay relaxed and aware, and capable of dealing with the needs of the situation at hand.

It is a proven fact that women often learn the principles and movements of Tora KiDo faster than most men. This is because women in general are “smarter” in that they habitually do not rely on their (brute) physical strength in trying to make a movement work. Tora KiDo teaches exactly that. Most men have a difficult time with the fact that, in the first phase of Tora KiDo training, they are literally asked to “lose their strength.”
This, of course, does not mean that students need to become physically “weak” in order to learn Tora KiDo. They do, however, need to shed their habit of using or relying on their external strength too much when practicing and applying what they learn in class. The normal progression of Tora KiDo training goes like this:

Phase One: Learn to lose your own strength
Phase Two: Learn to lose your opponent’s strength
Phase Three: Learn to use your opponent’s strength against him!

It is this aspect of Tora KiDo training that makes it especially well suited for women who need to learn to fight back. Women are often more intuitive than men in their approach to problem solving. In the end, Tora KiDo is nothing more than a “new” way of problem solving. You learn to solve the problem of (usually male) violence.

Developing the confidence and the natural fighting spirit that goes along with greater confidence is a natural part of Tora KiDo training. Tora KiDo builds upon the student’s existing strengths to produce a more well-rounded, secure and aware person.
Everything depends on how much you put into your own training. Tora KiDo can literally set you free - from fear of violence, for your own bad mental and physical habits, and from restrictive, counter-productive beliefs and attitudes.
