WELCOME!

Welcome to the Amazon Nation web site. It is a work in progress, so please check back often to see the latest updates. Latest UPDATE I have additional information about the two paths to achieving a black belt. This information is just below on this page.

Amazon Nation was founded because of the lack of places for women to go to learn true self defense while being emotionally empowered. Most self defense courses are created by men, and a lot of women are intimidated by the attitude that prevails there. They are sometimes made to feel like victims, even in a place for their learning! I saw too much of that, and so created Amazon Nation. A Women’s Self Defense and Empowerment Centre created by a woman *for* women.

For navigation purposes click on the link to your left to go to wherever on the site you wish to visit and if you have any questions, please contact us.

I hope you enjoy the site, and find the Amazon within you.

Sincerely,

TWO PATHS TO CHOOSE FROM!

I've been giving alot of thought lately to the fact that some women get alot out of the traditional aspects of the Martial Arts while others just want to learn bare bones "Self Defense".

To this end, I've re-defined the two "Paths" an Amazon can take that both lead to a Black Belt in the system, but concentrate on different areas.

PROGRAM ONE - TRADITIONAL

This program (or Path) concentrates more on History and Philosophy and also contains some use of the Asian language (Chinese or Korean, the Amazon in Training's choice. Not Japanese, as this program does *not* contain any Japanese style (like Judo or Kenpo) in it's instruction).

Here is an outline of what this program contains:

  1. A full Ten Belt Ranking system. Ten tests, ten belts until reaching the end of the System.
  2. Instruction in Asian language (Chinese or Korean). This means learning the form names and the counting system in that language. Not speech. You will not be required to learn the entire language, only that which pertains to the System.
  3. Heightened concentration on Philosophy and History both of the Martial Arts and Amazons in general. Required Reading is doubled.
  4. Journal and Daily Meditation Period *required*

PROGRAM TWO - Self Defense Concentration

  1. Five Belt Ranking System. Only Five belts, five tests to reach the end of the system. This is because only fighting techniques and very little else is learned so the pace is greatly increased. However, it is *not* as well rounded as the first. It is primarily meant for people in high risk situations who need the information as quickly as possible and can get by with smaller amounts of information about Philosophy and History.
  2. Philosophy and History - Less intense than the first program, but still there, as it's part of my vision for this program. It makes for well roundedness and knowledge in the Amazon in Training.
  3. Journal and Daily Meditation Period *required*.
