Level 1 Introduction Workshop

Our Level 1 workshop is an introduction to self-defence training and includes the following modules:
  1. Situational awareness and how to avoid confrontation. The first part of our Soft Skills of self-defence. Learn how to spot trouble before it happens and present yourself as an unlikely victim.
  2. De-escalation techniques. The second of our Soft Skills modules focuses on the psychology of dealing with conflict to prevent violence.
  3. Escapes. The first module of our Hard Skills teaches evasive techniques to avoid being trapped and injured.
  4. Pre-emptive and defensive strikes. The second of our Hard Skills modules teaches simple, easy to learn, hand strikes, elbows, knees and kicks.
  5. The law, reasonable force and intent. Back to some Soft Skills training on how to defend yourself lawfully.
  6. Knives are increasingly being used in assaults. In this module, we look at Knife Awareness, surviving a knife attack and using everyday items as improvised weapons.

The duration of our standard workshop is 3 hours. We also offer an ‘express’ workshop which is 1.5 hours long should time be limited.
