Self Defence

The course is delivered by Sensei Ken Robson who is a 7th Degree Black Belt at Aikido. He has served for 22 years in the Royal Air Force as a pilot and combat survival instructor.

The course will consist of 7 x 90 minute lessons culminating with a final (8th ) lesson lasting 2 hours. The main focus of the course will be to give students the confidence and skills to affect a non-violent resolution to any potentially violent encounter.

During the sessions you will be introduced to powerful Neuro Linguistic Programming tools which will help you manage your emotional state and control fear and anger; which are essential skills required in any personal safety scenario. Furthermore, these skills can be easily transferred and used to great effect dealing with normal day-to-day stressful occurrences.

You will learn the basic concepts and principles of the martial art of Aikido which is noted for being effective regardless of the size or strength of the practitioner. As such, it is an ideal self defence system for everyone. By the end of the course, you will be able to perform to the standard of yellow/white belt and will be certified as such. Alongside this essential traditional training you will be exposed to some modern self-defence concepts and be given some practical solutions for dealing with aggression if violence can-not be avoided. This section of the course is also accredited to the basic self-defence level recognised by Shudokan Institute of Aikido International. You will also be shown some of the more advanced solutions concerned with dealing with knife assault.

At the end of the course you will have your knowledge of the subjects taught checked by exposure to a unique simulation during which you will experience and learn from realistic encounters and exposure to your emotional reactions, all done in a safe and controlled environment. All students will be issued with a training uniform and a home study DVD.
