Secondary Schools and University Self Defence Programs
Empowering Students Through Defence
Self-Defence is a crucial skill set designed to protect individuals from harm. Unlike martial arts, it focuses on practical survival techniques that are essential for real-world scenarios. Given the alarming statistics that most sexual assaults occur at home and are perpetrated by someone the victim knows, learning self-defence is more vital than ever.
What is Self Defence?
Did you know that most sexual attacks occur in the home?
Did you know that approximately 86% of assailants are known to their victim?
Self Defence is NOT a Martial Art, it is all about survival techniques.
As is obvious in the daily news, there is a great need for all of us in the community to learn the skills necessary to ward off potential attackers. Education is certainly the way to do so.
We teach students how to avoid potentially dangerous situations, and how to cope with them if attacked.
We show them how to become more assertive and self confident, whilst increasing their level of personal development and health awareness; by very patient and expert instructors.
Suitability and target audience
Our target audience throughout the secondary school system is Years 9 and 10 students. Custom designed courses may be organized to specialize in Women’s and Men’s Self Defence Program. We teach a different syllabus to Females and Males. Girls are more likely to be attacked by a lone assailant, whereas guys are more susceptible to being approached by a group of assailants. We can even provide same sex instructors for those who are initially uncomfortable being taught by the opposite.
Course Objectives
For the courses to be successful we target the sessions around certain aims, being Confidence, Awareness, Assertiveness and Easy Physical Skills.
In order to cover all the aspects of the structured Basic Self Defence Course, we require five consecutive sessions of 90 minutes duration.
We are even able to custom design courses to suit; such as Covert Unarmed Combat, Women’s Self Defence, and Advanced Self Defence Courses.
Course Aims
The overall aims of these courses are:-
To better recognize, avoid and defuse dangerous situations
To apply effective techniques for physical self defence and
To experience subsequent improvements in quality of life and feelings of empowerment and control, with freedom from excessive anxiety.
The following relates to the first of these aims and covers in better detail some of these points, which are covered in the theory component.
