Real Life Self-Defence

Be safe wherever you go!

Don’t be fooled by an hour and a half self-defense class. Self Defense is a broad field that just can’t be covered in that short of time period. Martial Arts classes don't usually teach real street self defense, most are sports. Those martial arts that actually teach self-defense takes years to learn 200 or 300 techniques. What should a real Adult Self-Defense Course cover?

 

Real life self-defense must be easy to learn and simple to execute quickly. The effectiveness of self-defense training depends on various factors, including the individual's goals, commitment, and the specific methods taught in the course. It's essential to note that both an 8-hour self-defense course and years of learning a martial art have their own advantages and limitations. Here are some considerations of our self-defense course.

About out self-defense course

Time Commitment:

  • Many people don't have time to take a martial art for 3 nights a week for 4 or 5 years to learn to defend themselves. An 8-hour self-defense course is designed to provide quick and practical techniques for immediate use. It's a condensed program that aims to cover basic self-defense skills in a short period.

     

Focus on Practicality:

  • Our Self-Defense course focuses on practical, real-world situations and techniques that can be quickly learned and applied by teens, men and women with minimal training.

     

Adaptability:

  • Our Self-Defense course teaches simple and direct techniques that are easy to remember and apply under stress. The emphasis is on escaping from dangerous situations and using instinctive movements.

 

Mindset and Awareness:

  • Self-Defense courses can instill a mindset of awareness and preparedness. Understanding potential threats, developing situational awareness, and knowing how to respond are crucial components of effective self-defense.

 

For practical, quick, and basic self-defense skills, an 8 hour course may be sufficient.
