WORKSHOPS
Workshops in Schools, Business and Community Groups
Everyday we leave our homes and journey through the world, we may be going to the shops, work, visiting friends, exercising etc.; by doing this we are placing ourselves in possibly life-threatening situations. An aggressively violent attack can be aimed at anyone – male or female, young or old; at any time and most likely happen when we least expect it.
My company has a 20-year history teaching Self-Defence/Awareness; we have the experience and passion to conduct Self-Defence Team Building Seminars within your school at a very generous cost. Next to learning how to swim, Self-Defence is a life skill that everyone should learn before they leave school.
We come to your school, you wear your normal everyday clothes and learn defence techniques that are easy to remember and really do work. Learn in the safe, comfortable surroundings with school peers without needing to travel to our venue. We cater for all class groups, and note it is a hands-on seminar in a controlled environment.
Do you think you or your colleagues could defend against an aggressive attack?
Take a moment to think about all the senseless tragedies that occur to children/teenagers through violence that could have been avoided if the victim had the basic skills and awareness of how to avoid or deal with a situation.
The year 12 intense self-defence workshop is very popular, book now!
