It takes years to become seriously proficient at martial arts & to achieve a Black Belt but the great news is you don’t need a Black Belt to protect yourself (This is not to diminish the BB, earning a Black Black & martial arts training in general gives you way, way more than self-defence, it gives confidence, self-belief, self-esteem, mindset, fitness, health, movement & mobility to name just a few, all exceptionally valuable skills).. But our Intensive Self-Defence Course will give you the skills to walk away and be able to protect yourself from day 1. It is designed to enable you to benefit from the techniques even if you are not strong or physically fit. Perfect for lone-workers, lone-runners, students, young women, dog walkers or anyone who has felt vulnerable at one point or another.
This Pink Belt Intensive Self-Defence Course covers a mixture of prevention & application including:
Theory
- Situational awareness & personal safety methods
- How not to be perceived an easy target
- How to deal with passive aggression such as groping and drink spiking
- Reasonable force and the law on self-defence including what you can legally do to protect yourself
- Physiological impact of adrenalin and why most self-defence techniques fail
Practical
- The Top 3 Strike Points for defence against bigger & stronger attackers
- Stun and run drills
- Wrist grab breakaways
- Knee strikes & hammer fists
- Bear-hold breakaways
- Head lock & hair grab breakaways
- Choke defence
- What to do if an attack goes to the ground
- The safest way to deal with robbery & knife attacks
The reason we go into such depth and don’t just cover the practical basics is because self-defence is more than just physical ability, it is a mindset. It takes courage to protect ourselves and for most, the confidence to fight back doesn’t come naturally. But this course will show you how to fire up and reclaim your confidence through knowledge, skill & repetition!
This course is not a physical fitness course and you do not need to be fit or physically strong to benefit. Techniques are purposefully not over-complicated, but designed for you to be able to go home and share your new knowledge and skillset with your friends and family straight away.
Suitable for age 14 years +.
