Workshop: "Self-defence & psychology in problem situations"

It is practical, theoretical & educational workshop designed for businesses and corporate team building events. Participants will learn the basic know-how in the field of preventive self-defence and safety.

Systematical and clearly comprehensible teaching follows the line of teaching method „System SELF-DEFENCE 1“ and is appropriately customized for beginners, public and people with no previous self-defence experience.

This workshop won´t be oriented for strength or condition exercises. The workshop will be led in an educational way where the focus will be oriented on acquiring the useful know-how in the field of practical self-defence, psychology of problem situations and prevention.

The aim of the workshop is to introduce to participants the basic principles of self-defence, where the trainees can learn some selected responses to possible threatening situations, together with the psychological responses. All together functions as and a background of prevention.

The workshop guided by a lecturer Mr. Horňáček has been perceived very positively by our employees. We are looking forward to repeat it again ..

We have incorporated a self-defense workshop in a bigger team building event carried out for our client.

We as an organiser evaluate the skills and abilities of instructors at a high level, so as the participants of the team building. We are very pleased that we have established a cooperation with Michal Horňáček. We will be glad to use his professional and expert approach to the topic again in the future.
