Self-Defence Course
Close-range attacker defence course (bladed and firearm threats). Practical training focused on self-defence techniques and crisis response.
Why this course?
Most people assume an attack will never happen to them. The statistics say otherwise. Most attacks happen at close range, in a corridor, classroom or workplace. This course teaches you to react instinctively, effectively and calmly, whether the attacker is using a knife, a firearm or attacking bare-handed.
What will you learn?
- How to read dangerous situations and recognise an attack before it begins
- Correct body movement and distance management
- Defensive techniques against bladed weapons (knife, baton)
- Defensive techniques against firearms
- Using the environment and surroundings to your advantage
- Neutralising and restraining the attacker until help arrives
