Schools Self Defence Classes

“We provide self-defence workshops to all students and teachers in education from primary school KS2 to university. We’ll visit your school, college or university.”

“Young people are a target for criminals. We teach your students how to avoid becoming a victim, deal with conflict and be aware of the dangers of knives.”

Our KS2 workshop focuses on children being aware of potential dangers, and knowing what to do and who to report incidents to. Pupils will learn how to manage bullying without resorting to violence.

 

Pupils of KS3 and KS4 age suddenly become more vulnerable when they start travelling to school without a parent. Our workshops specifically focus on this precarious time in their lives. We believe that our modules on Soft Skills are most beneficial to children of this age.

 

Older students will benefit more from our Level 1 In Education workshop.

 

Our Level 1 In Education workshop is a complete package to help youngsters navigate the dangers of our modern society and includes training for the following:

  1. situational awareness and how to avoid confrontation
  2. de-escalation techniques
  3. escapes
  4. pre-emptive and defensive strikes
  5. the law, reasonable force and intent
  6. knives and improvised weapons
