The Chimera is a female mythical beast whose name has come to be associated with an imaginary fear. While women's fears of attack are far from imaginary, the fear that they are helpless to defend their own security is one which Chimera is dedicated to defeat.
Chimera teaches a concept of self-defense which gives women the means to defend themselves.
Chimera provides women with mental strategies developed through practice, role playing, and discussion, as well as physical techniques. The Chimera style of self-defense was developed by women who wanted effective skills that are easy to learn and remember and do not rely on physical strength. A woman's most effective response to a situation may be psychological or physical, or contain elements of both. Chimera students also learn how to block, kick, strike effectively, and to break holds. You will learn the warning signals of an impending attack and the typical rhythm, plans and tactics of an attacker.
