Self-defense Course/Workshop
This eight weeks self-defense course is a set of techniques, strategies, and mindset aimed at protecting oneself from physical harm or danger in threatening situations. It encompasses a range of skills and practices designed to empower individuals to defend themselves effectively when faced with aggression or violence.
At its core, the course involves understanding potential threats and developing the ability to assess and respond to them appropriately. This includes recognizing signs of danger, such as verbal aggression or physical intimidation, and making quick decisions to ensure personal safety.
Participants will learn self-defense techniques from various martial arts or combative methods, such as striking, grappling, and blocking, tailored to disable or neutralize an attacker. These techniques are typically practiced through repetitive drills and simulations to build muscle memory and reflexes. These practices are educational, psychologically safe, and physically stimulating.
Participants will learn psychological and verbal strategies to develop assertive communication skills, boundary-setting, and de-escalation techniques aimed at diffusing potentially violent situations before they escalate. They will also learn to develop situational awareness and preventive measures to minimize the risk of encountering dangerous situations.
The aim for the course is to emphasize the importance of confidence, assertiveness, and empowerment. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves, self-defense fosters a sense of self-reliance and resilience, enabling individuals to navigate the world with greater confidence and security.
This course is a multifaceted approach to personal safety that combines physical techniques, mental preparedness, and proactive strategies to empower learners to protect themselves and others from harm. It promotes the fundamental right to safety and security while fostering a sense of empowerment and autonomy in navigating the complexities of the modern world.
