Women's self defense, m​ore than any​thing, is phrase used either

​by people who don't understand self defense or by someone trying to 

​sell you something.

Unarmed physical self defense requires knowing how to use and defend against striking and wrestling, standing and on the ground.

And it's the same for men and women. There is no such thing as punching for women and punching for men, or wrestling. The​ ​ same principles apply to all humans. Women need to learn to defend against the same type of attacks as men, and techniques that are most effective for men are also most effective for  women.

The same goes for weapon use and defense.

A good self defense teacher should help each practitioner to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and which strategies will work best against a variety  of different types of opponents, attacks, and situations.
