Overview of the type of courses we provide

A typical course focuses 80% of the time on practical, highly effective and easy to remember self-protection techniques. This is enhanced and reinforced with digital presentations introducing the various sections.

Awareness strategies and conflict management are discussed and an open forum is encouraged should anyone have any questions or concerns.

Courses can take place in a half-day, full day or two day format.

The following is a brief overview on how various groups needs may vary.

Offices, Public/Customer Service Staff and Management
Courses for the above will vary according to the nature of the business in question, e.g (a conflict at customer service point of a maternity ward is more likely to be more emotionally charged than that of a conflict at a mobile phone’s shop) Although both have the potential to escalate out of hand. Not only does this course teach self defence, it can also be structured for team building.

Security Services
Because of the violent nature of society today there is a growing need for more and more security staff. Be it a Pub, Club or Supermarket. It says something about society when people need protection to buy their groceries ! At myselfdefence we teach conflict management (how to defuse a situation) should the situation escalate pre emptive striking and restraint techniques are brought in to play. On this type of course there is a greater emphasis placed on the physical, therefore clients would need to posses a reasonable level of fitness.

Ladies Only
The patterns of attack tend to be different for males and females. Generally when a male is attacked it is usually from the front and dose not have a sexual motive. On the other hand when a female is attacked by a male it is usually from the “blind side” ie from behind and may well have a sexual motive. Therefore the type of techniques taught vary to deal with very different scenarios.
In addition women tend to feel more comfortable in an all female environment when subjects such as rape and sexual abuse are discussed.
The power point presentation would also be adapted to suit the client.

Schools/Youth Clubs
Most schools and youth groups these days adopt some form of anti bullying policy. But unfortunately, these policies tend to take effect after a bullying incident has occurred in many cases this is to little to late as the bullied child is already traumatised from the mindless tormenting of what is little more than a coward who sees a weaker person as an easy target.
THE CURRENT ANTI-BULLYING POLICIES ARE JUST PAPER EXERCISES, ARE RARELY PUT INTO PRACTICE AND EVEN IF THEY ARE, CONCENTRATE ON THE VICTIM RATHER THAN THE BULLY, THEREFORE MAKING THE VICTIM EVEN MORE OF A VICTIM.
We at myselfdefence believe parents/teachers/youth workers and children themselves should be pro active in their approach to the subject of bullying be it physical or mental.
Myselfdefence therefore tailor their youth courses with this in mind.
