Transitional Year Self Defence Course.

The emphasis of this course is not to teach Students how to fight, but instead to give good practical and realistic training, and advice on what a student can do to protect themselves, if they were to become a victim of crime or violence. This is done firstly by teaching Awareness and Prevention to avoid attacks happening in the first place. Secondly learning How to Escape and learning the Basics of Self Defence.

We also cover the emotional and practical realities of dealing with the aftermath of an attack.

Throughout the class / workshop we offer the students an opportunity for Questions and Answers, so we then can tailor the direction of the course to the needs of the students.

To help deal with the physical aspects, all students will get a Cardio Workout, which is usually a mix of Padwork, Stretching, Self Defence Drills, Breathing Exercises, and Yoga Postures. The degree of cardio workout can be increased or decreased to fit in with the wishes of the class teacher.

This course can be divided into either 4, 6 or 8 weeks or longer programmes if required, or it can through 3 - 4 hour workshops. The course can be worked within the time limitation for each class at each school.
