Self Defense Training Pitch

What do you do?

If you are like me,

You have had your fair share of fights, but these fights were civilized.

Maybe you said angry words.

Maybe you sent a nasty email.

Maybe they said bad things about you to your colleagues or your superiors.

But no one got hurt.

Physically that is.

If you are like me,

You believe deep inside that everything can be solved by dialogue.

That people behave in well understood ways.

That violence is something you read about in the newspaper.

That you will live out your life in the relative safety of a well policed society.

If you are like me,

No one has ever punched you in the stomach really hard.

You have never had a fist fight in your life.

You have never had a knife pointed at you.

You have never had someone come at you with the intention of hurting you.

What do you do?

What do you do when these beliefs, these life experiences  are no longer valid?

What do you do when the unthinkable happens and some one is trying to hurt you?

Discover-101 believes that, the question deserves a two part answer.

(Latin for “Always Alert”)

 

The Discover-101 Self defense training program

Discover-101 is happy to introduce Semper Paradus.

Our program on;

4    Physical Conflict Avoidance

4    Basic Self Defense Techniques

Semper paradus is a two part program. Roughly two-thirds of the program is about how you can avoid getting into a violent situation in the first place. The other one third is about what to do to get out of a violent situation that you are in.

Part 1 – Physical Conflict Avoidance

Content

Studies show that certain people have a bigger chance of being in a violent situation than others. This 4 hour session is all about what makes attackers think that they can attack you and what you can do to change that.

You can consciously choose to avoid or resolve situations which could turn violent.

§  What factors determine your likelihood of being in a violent situation?

§  What behaviors are typical of those likely to be aggressed?

§  What behaviors can you exhibit to avoid violence?

§  How do you spot a situation that is potentially violent?

§  How can you avoid a situation where your physical safety might be compromised?

§  How can you diffuse a potentially violent situation that you happen to be in?

These activity driven, self exploratory modules explore these questions and more to change the way participants behave and view themselves.
