Dealing with Physical
Aggression.
This one-day 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.
