“New York Women Self Defense Class” in Flushing
“New York Women Self Defense Class” in Flushing will be started on Feb 20, 1:30 to 3:00 PM. This class is totally free lasting for 3 months. Some Chinese American society leaders and governors will attend the beginning.
After the rape-and-homicide case of Chinese female student Yao, Yu in downtown flushing in last year, the community security and violence prevention became a big concern of the neighborhood. We have received more than 15 phone calls in merely 2 days and registered more than 20 ladies after the first round broadcast on Tue. This proves people are worrying about how to keep their lives and properties safe and self protection is an urgent topic for the society to solve.
This event is held by New York Self Defense Association. Master Wang, Zhenshen, the president of NYSDA, introduced that the purpose of this new born organization is to let people learn how to defense themselves in street attack, to have a platform for communication of street combat between different Martial Arts styles, and to feed back the society with best effort. Master Wang emphasized that the curriculum of this class was totally designed for women. The most important feature is simplicity. All the topics, skills and techniques should be easy to pick up, easy to practice and easy to use, with good effect.
Also, Master Wang, Zhenshen mentioned that currently NYSDA is supported by few Martial Arts schools, which is not enough. He hopes more and more Masters and MA schools to join into this Association. “If we can keep the free class for years, can have several spots in NYC, and classes are given by different Masters, I am sure there will be a great development for Martial Arts in NYC, and a great achievement in culture spread and diversion.”

由纽约防身自卫术协会主办的完全免费的“法拉盛女子防身自卫术学习班”，将于2011年2月20日下午1：30至3：00进行第一堂课。届时，将有社区领袖前来参观祝词，社会各界也将共镶盛举。
目前，经过第一阶段的宣传，社区反响较好，两天内报名人数已达15人以上，可以看出女性群众对于此类活动的积极性。协会将秉承致力于推广民众防身健身的能力，加强防身自卫术交流的宗旨，为维护社区安全稳定尽一份力。会长王振身师傅表示，本次课程项目将专门针对妇女自身的特点，通过授课效果和反馈进行逐步修改，形成教案。目的是传授简单实用、好学好记的防身自卫方法。
同时，王振身会长也指出，光靠一两家武馆来支撑，多少有些人少力薄，协会也希望广大武术界同仁能踊跃参与进来，以此为平台，相互交流和学习，形成良性循环与发展，进一步回馈社会。如果能够长久开办，多点授课，每期由不同的师傅主持，将会带动纽约武术界百花齐放，成为文化传播事业上的美谈。
王振身师傅是上海精武总会会员，在国内时曾习练潭腿与八极拳。赴美留学后，又跟随名师苦练钻研郝家太极梅花螳螂拳与大成拳。王师傅曾荣获各类传统武术比赛拳械十多枚金牌，内外兼修，明技击理念，善过手实战。他为人谦冲，尊敬前辈，对于传统武术有深刻的见解，也多次受邀开班讲学，是纽约武林年轻一代的翘楚。
鉴于去年以来纽约法拉盛多次出现妇女被袭事件，此次课程的设置，从防身自卫的基本点开始。其内容涉及力量，速度，身体协调性等多方面的锻炼，并教授击打手法，擒拿解脱，使用小物件等多种格斗自卫方式，可以有效应付各种危险情况。希望广大女性朋友不要错过。
