  • NWMAF Update April 2020
    NWMAF Update April 2020 News for Our Members, Friends, and Supporters “Empowering women and girls to achieve personal and collective strength, safety, and well being through martial arts, healing arts, and self-defense education” Notes From the NWMAF Chair 2020 Conference Cancelled Due to Virus by Cathy Chapaty, NWMAF Board Chair Greetings from my shelter-at-home living room in Austin, Texas. On a beautiful spring day, I’m sadly mindful that it’s a tough time for so many of our members due to the spread of COVID-19. The National Women’s Martial Arts Federation (NWMAF) Board offers its condolences to those who have lost family, friends, and colleagues to this virus. As a result of the continued spread of COVID-19, in the interest of the health of its members, the NWMAF Board voted at its March 29 meeting to cancel the 2020 conference at Daemen College in Amherst, New York. It was not an easy decision—and at the same time, very simple and obvious: Our members’ health comes first. We are disappointed; I’m sure you are as well. We will miss seeing our friends and colleagues, sharing meals, exploring different martial arts and healing art styles, learning new self-defense skills, and discovering the latest Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) research. However, this was the right decision in this dire, uncertain time. How will we proceed after this cancellation? • Refunds: Members who have already registered for the 2020 conference will have a variety of refund options. If you have already registered for this year’s conference, expect an email from Treasurer Cheryl VanHoosen ([email protected]) or Events Coordinator Natalie DeMaioribus ([email protected]) to discuss your options.

  • Self-Defence Training As Embodied Learning
    Training Our Bodies to Defend Ourselves: Self-defence Training as Embodied Learning by Marion Robinson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2013, Marion Robinson Abstract This thesis examines how self-defence training changes participants’ experiences of, and responses to, lived vulnerability to interpersonal violence as seen through gender. Fieldwork for this thesis took place in both an eight-week women’s self-defence class and a twelve-week advanced (co-ed) self-defence class; taught by the same studio. Participants in these classes cultivated a variety of body-habits that will be explored in terms of training perception; control over one’s affective responses to threats; and control over aggressive/threatening situations as a whole. While other studies of self-defence featuring women tend to focus on describing the benefits of the practice for female survivors of sexual violence, this study is broader in scope. It examines how these benefits come about through a phenomenological analysis of the habits taken up in self-defence training, and it offers commentary on how gender norms are addressed, taken up, or challenged through the practice of self-defence. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank all of the people who have supported me through this research project: my research participants, without whose conversations and friendship, there would not be a project. My thesis advisor Bernhard Leistle deserves special thanks for his patience, his empathy, and his insights into habituation and learning.

(1998) “The Fighting Spirit: Women’s Self-Defense Training and the Discourse of Sexed Embodiment.” Gender & Society 12:3:277-300. (ISSN: 0891-2432) [ June 1998]The version of record is available from Sage Publications. http://gas.sagepub.com/content/12/3/277 DOI: 10.1177/0891243298012003003 The Fighting Spirit: Women's Self-Defense Training and the Discourse of Sexed Embodiment Martha Mccaughey Gender & Society 1998 12: 277 ABSTRACT This article presents ethnographic research on women’s self-defense training and suggests that women’s self-defense culture prompts feminists to refigure our understanding of the body and violence. The body in feminist discourse is often construed as the object of patriarchal violence (actual or symbolic), and violence has been construed as something that is variously oppressive, diminishing, inappropriate, and masculinist. Hence, many feminists have been apathetic to women’s self-defense. As a practice that rehearses, and even celebrates women’s potential for violence, women’s self-defense illustrates how and why feminism can frame the body as both a social construction and as politically significant for theory and activism. INTRODUCTION: DOING DISCOURSE THEORY KICKING AND SCREAMING Before studying women's self-defense culture, my engagement with sexual assault education and prevention revolved around raising consciousness about the abused, violated, and misrepresented female body. Looking back, I ask myself, how could I have been a feminist activist, and sexual assault educator specifically, and not practice or advocate self-defense? In this article, I begin to answer this question by considering some of the tensions in feminism regarding violence and the body, specifically as these tensions occurred to me during the course of my ethnographic study of women's self- defense culture.

  • Four Concrete Steps for Working with Trauma ○ with Bessel Van Der Kolk, MD and Ruth Buczynski, Phd
    Four Concrete Steps for Working with Trauma ○ with Bessel van der Kolk, MD and Ruth Buczynski, PhD Step 1: Start with Self-Regulation Dr. van der Kolk: I would say the foundation of all effective treatments involves some way for people to learn that they can change their arousal system. Before any talking, it’s important to notice that if you get upset, taking 60 breaths, focusing on the out breaths, can calm your brain right down. Attempting some acupressure points or going for a walk can be very calming. Dr. Buczynski: So this is learning to modulate arousal? Dr. van der Kolk: Yes, and there’s alarmingly little in our mainstream culture to teach that. For example, this was something that kindergarten teachers used to teach, but once you enter the first grade, this whole notion that you can actually make yourself feel calm seems to disappear. ○ Now, there’s this kind of post-alcoholic culture where if you feel bad, you pop something into your mouth to make the feeling go away. It’s interesting that right now there are about six to ten million people in America who practice yoga, which is “The issue of self- sort of a bizarre thing to do - to stand on one foot and regulation needs bend yourself up into a pretzel.
