Dealing With Physical Aggression | |
The
day long P•Tect course teaches how to be alert to physical aggression
and the basic skills required for effective self preservation.
The course is suitable for anyone of 'normal' health (i.e. engaged
in
work) and focuses on teaching a simple set of principles and techniques
that allow physical aggression to be dealt with in as peaceful
a manner
as possible. Most of the techniques taught are 'Self Preservation' ones where the emphasis is on maintaining personal safety in response to a single incident (e.g. a punch, a shove, being strangled). There are also some techniques taught that may be classed as 'Self Defence' this is where an attacker persists with an assault or the assault is of such aggressive force that the only practicable defence is to prevent the attacker from being able to continue with the assault. ALL the techniques shown are based on the the basic concept that the underlying intention should be to assist the attacker to calm down and to do no damage whatsoever to the attacker if at all possible once the victim's safety has been ensured.
