What is Self-Defence?

​

Clue - it's not all about fighting ...

​

The art of self-defence is primarily about avoiding physical confrontation. The focus is therefore about how to recognise threats at the earliest opportunity.  If conflict can then not be avoided, simple tactics - from verbal and non-verbal methods, to physical defence and restraint - are taught to equip practitioners with all the skills and confidence they need to survive any situation.

​

Self-defence tuition can comprise the following:

​

  • Situational awareness

  • Conflict management and deescalation

  • Survival strategies

  • The effects of emotion in situations of extreme stress

  • Tactics and techniques for dealing with physical confrontation
