Self Defence Training
Are you looking for an engaging Self Defence Training course to enable your team to defend themselves, both in and outside of the workplace? Many different organisations and operating environments are looking to provide their people with Self Defense skills in today’s complex environment, be it in a corporate office or retail environment.
What is Self Defence Training about?
Quite simply self-defence legislation allows people to defend themselves. In and outside of the workplace people should not feel they have to be a victim of violence or aggressive customers. With this context in mind, Self Defence is taught as an absolute last resort and as a technique for you to remove yourself from the situation. It's about confidence and how to engage a positive mindset.
A good Self Defence course should provide context on,
The law as it relates to Self Defense,
How to deal with aggressive customers, de-escalate the situation first then,
Create an exit strategy and if required to use very basic Self-Defence techniques to facilitate that exit.
A stun and run strategy, in the right circumstance, is absolutely the appropriate and legal thing to do.
Who is Self Defence Training for?
A Self Defence Training course is useful for staff of any business or organisation that has the possibility of staff being confronted by angry customers or members of the public. This should be of particular interest to those organisations that have staff going into people’s homes, for example lone workers. This is not about creating self defence experts this is about giving people some basic tools to help create an exit strategy in confrontational situations.
