SELF DEFENCE COURSE

Just as knowledge of CPR and basic water safety are essential life skills, everyone should at some time or another learn basic self-defence.

The Academy of Traditional Fighting Arts at the Bayswater Martial Arts and Yoga Centre offers a four week Self-Defence Course.  The four lesson certificate course is designed for the lay-person and will equip the you with the means to defend yourself in a variety of circumstances.

The philosophy behind the course emphasises avoiding confrontation wherever possible, and where not possible, suggests methods for conflict resolution through non-aggressive means. Moreover this philosophy is embodied in the actual techniques which utilise the attacker's force against the attacker and/or circular movements to deflect attacks.

Allow yourself just one hour a week for only 4  weeks to learn some essential life skills to protect yourself and possibly others.  

You don’t need to be Bruce Lee, or be particularly strong or flexible, as you will learn easy and effective techniques that can be applied by anyone.  You will leave the course feeling more confident and equipped with the means to defend yourself in a variety of realistic circumstances such as we read and hear about every day.

 Topics covered include:

 •        Learning how to avoid ‘freezing’ in an emergency

•        Improving awareness and learning to ‘read’ a situation

•        Deciding when and how to act in self defence

•        Improving assertiveness and self-confidence

•        Defending against unarmed and armed attackers

•        Dealing with home invasions

•        Learning how to use household items as weapons in self defence

•        Surviving in a hostile crowd (e.g. riot or stampede)

•        Dealing with dog attacks

•        Self defence and the law

Finally, throughout the course, participants are taught methods to improve their assertiveness, self-confidence and self control both with a view to effective self-defence and for personal development.
