Self Defence Courses

Stat: In cases of sexual assault, 75% of the time the two parties have some sort of prior association-50% of the attackers are a current partner or close friend.

It's not all bad news though! Research conclusively shows that if you try a variety of different strategies and fight back during the assault, you will psychologically recover much much quicker than if you hadn't! So why wouldn't you do one of our courses then? 

Self defence courses are offered in three main formats:

 

Domestic self defence courses:

We provide two options; a three hour long "short course" covering preventative measures to assault, stand up striking, counters to chokes, holds and grabs as well as some limited padded assailant training. Perfect for those who are time challenged and/or looking to revisit some skills they may have acquired previously. For Females only aged 13 and older we normally run these self defence courses at the Knockout Personal Training Redwood premises.

We also offer a full day "long course". These 6 hour long self defence courses are also available for the general public to attend and are either done in one block at the Knockout Personal Training Redwood studio or run over 3 nights for 2 hours at a time at a venue of our determination. There is also a minimum age requirement of 13 years old. The course is a mix of theory and practical application and there is no real fitness requirement as we will guide you through all stages. We do however recommend it is best suited for those with complete mobility.

Content that is covered includes;

  • Rules of self defence
  • How to avoid the freeze factor
  • Preventative measures to confrontation
  • Stand up striking
  • Counters to chokes, holds and grabs
  • Ground defence
  • Padded assailant training

 

Every participant has the opportunity to purchase a hard copy of the First Line Self Defence safety manual at a discounted rate. It details in depth all the content that is covered including full colour photos and instruction of all techniques used, plus a wide range of safety tips and strategies. We also recognise the need to maintain your skill set which is why once you have completed a FLSD domestic course, it is completely FREE to come and complete the Redman suit training section of any future FLSD domestic course. How great is that, keep your skills fresh for nothing!
