Why Teach Self Defence?

Why Should I Do This Course?

This course has been designed and constructed around the vast amount of work that the trainers have done over many years in this field. It combines operational experience with the skill and knowledge of the key trainers work as an expert witness in courts of law. As such you will not only benefit from the years of professional experience, but you will also benefit from the trainers vast knowledge and experience of the law in this field enabling you to teach in a legally defensible manner by teaching you how to become more professional whilst reducing your liability. An important factor when you consider the increase in people being held accountable for the advice and training they provide.

1. The Law in Relation to Self Defence and Personal Protection

Understanding the law in relation to self-defence is a possibly the most important factor if we are going to be teaching others what their legal rights to self-defence are. Therefore, as part of this course we will provide you with information to help you learn exactly what the law says we can and cannot do in defending ourselves, others and in protecting our property to ensure that as a trainer you give legally correct advice. This is especially important if we consider our responsibility and accountability as trainers for the advice, guidance and training we provide.

2. Health & Safety Legislation for running Self-Defence Training Courses
Delivery training safely is a very important thing to consider if we do not want to be prosecuted for negligence and sued for injuring someone unnecessarily. Failure to apply good basic health and safety to how your deliver your training could end up costing you thousands of pounds and even make your insurance cover invalid. In this module we will provide you with all of the knowledge you need to help you deliver training that is health and safety compliant. This will reduce your liability and increase your professional status, making you stand out from the rest as a more competent and professional trainer in your field. In fact, this part alone could open up doorways for you to win large contracts by your ability to demonstrate that you can teach safely thus reducing the risk of any agency that may want to use your services.

3. The Workings of the Primitive Stress Response
Understanding how we react when faced with a dangerous and possibly violent situation is a fundamentally important if we are to teach skills and techniques that actually work when required to do so. To do this we need to understand how our primitive fight and flight system operates and what happens to our bodies when presented with a threat. In this section you will learn about the effect of the primitive fight and flight response and our associated fear response mechanisms on our physical, emotional and behavioural state, including what is meant by ‘hyper-vigilance’.

4. The Science and Psychology of Combat

Once we understand what happens to our psychology and our physical state when faced with a dangerous and potentially violent situation we then need to then start bringing this all together in providing people with skills and techniques that will actually work in these situations. In this module you will learn about the relationship between arousal and performance and how an increased heart rate affects that ability. The background research covered in this module is empirical and very important. Understanding these factors is the difference between teaching someone skills that will end up in them becoming a survivor or a victim, and as professional trainers in this field we cannot afford to teach people how to fail. This is therefore possibly the most important module within the whole course and is is based on a vast amount of research into areas such as how stress effects our Performance, our ability to make critical decisions when in a state or high emotional arousal or anxiety and how this effects our reaction time.

5. Self-Defence / Unarmed Defensive Tactics
Once we have covered the above four foundation modules we will then help you put all of this together to enable you to leave the course with the ability to demonstrate and teach self-defence techniques that are consistent with the law in relation to what Reasonable Force, and which will work for the people you train when they are placed in situations of high emotional distress. In addition you will be taught a framework in which to teach all of this enabling you to deliver your training in a safe and effective way. In short this course will make you a more effective trainer who will be able to teach safely and in a legally correct and legally defensible manner.

1. A Course Assignment Brief.

2. An Instructional Manual.

3. A Student Reflective Learning Log (Workbook).

Attendance of a One or a Two-Day Course
You can also choose to attend either a one or a two-day course - at no additional cost, which will be dependent upon your skill level, expertise and experience.

One-Day Assessment

For those of you who are very experienced trainers, who already teach self-defence or unarmed defensive tactics or a martial arts based self-defence programme, and who already have a stable of techniques that you currently teach within your own programmes, you may decide that you only need to attend a one-day assessment. That is fine with us. Once the written test is completed you will move straight on to the physical technique training assessment.

Two-Day Assessment
For those of you who are less experienced, and who are looking for a stable of tried and tested techniques to learn and use within a proven format, then we would recommend that you attend the two-day programme. How this works is as follows:-

On day one we will go through everything that you have been sent, including the distance learning modules to ensure that you are happy with what you have learned. We will also take you through how we would teach and show you how we apply the principles of self defence instruction in a safe and effective way when teaching our students. In the gym you will be coached and instructed in very simple yet amazingly effective self-defence techniques that are so easy to learn you will be staggered, and this will be taught to you in a humourus and light-hearted way to reduce any possible worries or anxieties that you may have until you are comfortable teaching them within your own small group of about four to five people. Then at the end of day one you can even take a mock assessment if you wish to, purely for practice purposes with your assigned trainer until you are happy.

Then, on the first part of the morning of day 2 we will review what we did on day one before we move into the assessment phase of the course, by which time you will be more than prepared for.
