Self-Defence
Real-Life Situations We Train
Self-Defence should be useful beyond the gym.
That’s why we work on controlled scenarios inspired by situations that may occur in everyday life.
During classes, you may learn how to respond to situations involving:● Wrist grabs● Clothing grabs● Attempts to restrain or immobilise● Pushes● Threats from different angles● Situations in confined spaces● Different types of physical aggression● Protecting a family member or companion● Creating an opportunity to escape
The primary objective is never to remain in a confrontation, but to create an opportunity to move away from danger safely.
Self-Defence
Release and Escape Techniques
Many confrontations begin with a grab or an attempt to restrain someone.
For this reason, an important part of our training focuses on techniques that help you regain freedom of movement and create an opportunity to get away.
Releasing Grabs
You’ll practise different ways to respond when someone grabs:● Your wrist● Your arm● Your clothing● Your shoulders
Training focuses on principles of body mechanics and efficient movement rather than relying solely on physical strength.
Distance Management
Maintaining appropriate distance can help prevent a situation from escalating.
You’ll learn:
● How to position yourself● How to move effectively● How to protect your personal space● When to step back● When to leave the situation
Escape Techniques
The priority is always to get out of danger.
We therefore practise controlled movements designed to help create enough space to move away safely and seek assistance when necessary.
Self-Defence
Prevention and Conflict Management
Self-Defence begins long before physical contact.
An essential part of our classes focuses on developing the ability to identify potential risks and respond intelligently.
Observing Your Surroundings
You’ll learn to identify potential risk situations before they become a problem.
Communication and Emotional Control
Staying calm allows you to make better decisions.
We train techniques to manage stress and respond rationally, even under pressure.Decision-Making
Every situation requires a different response.
We analyse different scenarios to learn when to avoid conflict, when to protect yourself, and when to leave the situation safely.
