SELF DEFENCE CLASSES

No one ever wants to find themselves in a frightening situation and unsure if they can protect themselves, although everyone will have had a moment in their life when they have been frightened and may even have been hurt.

The right to protect yourself, or your friends and family is a basic belief that everyone shares and there are many courses in Self Defence, Personal Defence, or Personal Security Training. These are usually short courses from 3 hours to 6 weeks and mainly provide instruction on how to shout, release grips and get to safety.

Training in Jiu Jitsu is different because we provide continuous training and personal development which is tailored to you. In real terms, as your skills and knowledge increase, so will your ability and experience.

From your first day of training you will introduced to certain ideas that will immediately help you stay safe.

DON’T BE THERE. It is an incredibly simple idea and starts with your awareness of where you are? Can you see around you, are you in a safe place, do you need to turn around, leave, or cross the street. Don’t be there, starts by avoiding places that you know are unsafe. It also means if someone does try and grab, punch, or kick you, don’t stay there and be hurt, you MOVE. So you could just run away? Although running is a great safety plan, training in Jiu Jitsu teaches you how to move to reduce and even prevent the attackers’ punches or kicks from hitting you.

ATTACK THE ATTACKER. Throughout your training you will also learn to strike the attackers body to gain space, time, or an advantage. You will also learn how to redirect the attackers force against them and as you become more skilled you will begin to take their balance and throw them. These skills mean that an attacker’s size and strength can be used against them.

BE READY. Training in Jiu Jitsu will prepare you mentally and physically for dealing with situations through a series of gradually increasing pressure testing scenarios. No one knows how they will deal with an attacker, but learning through experience provides a more realistic preparation for dealing with a violent situation. This will include recognising stress reactions and how to deal with them and learning to trust your senses by understanding those stomach churning, or hair on the back of the neck standing moments.

Training in Jiu Jitsu will increase your awareness of your surroundings, your ability act and deal with situations. It is a continuous program of development with no minimum or maximum term as there is always something to learn about yourself.
