Roger talks about the use of Hawaiian kenpo to protect women in everyday life

A pioneer of Hawaiian kenpo in Brazil, the former athlete gives self-defense tips so women don’t run risks on the streets. It is extremely important for women to learn to defend themselves through martial arts against violence, which can be on the street or even at home. Trained in Los Angeles, California by a great friend of Bruce Lee, Roger Chedid and a 7th dan black belt in the sport, where he learned directly from Grand Master Bill Ryusaki, Roger Chedid teaches Hawaiian Kenpo. The sport is a combination of different techniques from different styles of martial arts. “We work on everything that works in all modalities so that, depending on the situation, with the student’s physical and technical conditions, he can use what is best and most useful for him”, says the master. For women, Roger teaches them to defend themselves against the most common attacks on a daily basis, without the use of force and applying counterattacks to the most vulnerable and sensitive areas of the human being. “All techniques are very well studied and applied so that regardless of age, everyone is able to use them”, explains Chedid emphasizes that prevention tips are more important than techniques. “If you know how to behave on a daily basis, you don’t become an easy prey to be attacked, thus reducing the risk and the possibility of you using the techniques become much smaller. You buy car insurance not to crash the car, but in case of need. You also learn defense techniques for some eventuality and not to fight”, he ponders. He comments that in an approach, we must be calm and in control of the situation so as not to put our lives at risk. “Paying attention to everything around you, analyzing the situation and, if necessary, the combination of the surprise factor and technique can help the woman get out of the situation,” he adds. Soon, master Roger Chedid will be launching an online prevention and self-defense course for all women to edit and prepare from anywhere in the world so you can feel safe and prepa
