System SELF-DEFENSE 1
Training course for beginners and moderately advanced practitioners
Systematical and comprehensible teaching in System SELF-DEFENSE 1 is customised for beginners and people with no previous self-defense or martial arts experience. Teaching is logically divided into thematic units of practise which include selected simple and functional self-defense principles against most common threatening situations and types of attacks. The course consists of 15 –20 lessons of technical self-defense and includes an important workshop „Psychology in self-defense“.. The system of teaching thus includes both: the „technical self-defense“ and the very important part of „psychology“. Trainings are suitable for men and women.
Overall, this course provides a valuable basis and could be seen also as a very good threshold experience into further martial arts or self-defense training.
