SELF DEFENCE FOR MEN - ONLINE VIDEO COURSE

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ‘SELF DEFENCE FOR MEN’

“I did the Self Defence online course for men as a result of sometimes feeling anxious about my personal safety when on the streets. I’m so glad I did! Previously I did a Krav Maga course but found it difficult to remember all the moves and techniques. What I loved about Dene’s course was how it raised my awareness by putting acts of violence into a situational context, addressing my own mental mindset, and really easy to understand and hugely practical self defence techniques to get out of a violent confrontation if verbal de-escalation fails.

So impressed with Dene, always responsive to my enquiries and incredibly knowledgeable. Without hesitation I’d recommend this organisation. It’s a one hundred percent from me.”

Gareth Sinclair

WHY IS MEN’S SELF DEFENCE DIFFERENT?

Although the overall self defence principles and techniques we teach are the same for everyone, men’s self defence is different.

Statistics show that attacks on men are often due to social violence and are mostly ego-fuelled.

This type of ‘social’ violence can include road rage, drink- and drug-related fights, and gang culture.

We show you the difference between social violence (which can be avoided or de-escalated with the soft skills we teach) and anti-social violence (where a physical response may be required).

In Self Defence for Men, you’ll learn about warning signs of attacks and to demonstrate this you’ll watch real-life examples of attacks as we talk you through where people went wrong and how it could have been avoided.

Physical responses that work in the real world

The physical responses we teach are NOT martial arts, kicking or punching.

Martial arts are great for fitness, strength, discipline and focus but in a street fight or ambush attack they don’t work - especially for beginners.

Violence in the real world is raw, vicious and fast.

There are no rules of engagement and failure to act swiftly and effectively can be fatal.

We teach simple and effective physical responses that are proven to work in real life.

Our techniques are developed from special ops training and work in any situation - you just need the judgement to use them with care and within the law. This is also something we cover.

YOUR SAFE SPACE TO LEARN

Is it OK for men to learn how to protect themselves and avoid violence? Yes, 100%.

Does it make you any less of a man if you’re worried about (or have experienced) abuse, assault or domestic violence?

No, absolutely not.

At Streetwise Defence we have taught thousands of men and boys how to defend themselves, de-escalate violence and avoid becoming the victim of an attack.

This should not be a taboo subject but we understand that many men would rather learn at home on their own, instead of joining a group class.

And that is exactly what you can do with Self Defence for Men.

Our aim is to educate and equip you with the skills to keep yourself and your loved ones safe and avoid the trauma of an attack or abuse.

2. The online self defence class for men begins by understanding attackers and the reality of violence.

3. It moves on to understanding human behaviour and your body.

4. After that we look at how to become a ‘hard target’ and avoid danger.

5. Then finally we demonstrate the physical techniques in depth.

6. The aim is that, with the knowledge we share, you should never need to use a physical response. But if you do, then you will have a simple but effective technique to rely on.

No martial arts or experience needed!

1. Most male self defence classes promote martial arts, kicking, punching and complicated grabs, locks and escapes. But not ours!

2. We know that it takes years of training to master martial arts (Dene trained in martial arts when he was younger and won a kickboxing title). And in real-life scenarios, violence is scrappy and vicious - so a different approach is needed.

3. Our physical techniques are suitable for people of all abilities, ages and fitness levels.

4. What we teach is easy to remember and is based on special forces techniques and a deep understanding of attackers and violence.

Watch with a friend

1. We know that times are tight financially and we have tried to keep our course affordable. However, if you want to watch it with a friend and split the cost, we’re happy with that!

2. The added benefit of watching together with a friend or family member is that you can discuss each section and what comes up for you.

3. Another benefit of watching with a friend is that you can practice the physical responses - slowly and carefully.

Watch with your family

1. You can show this course (or parts of it) to children under 16 at your own discretion and guidance.

2. We recommend that you watch it first and decide what is appropriate for your child’s age and stage of development.

3. We are developing online self defence classes for teenage boys but these aren’t ready yet.

‘Self defence for Men’ is aimed at males aged 16+, however, people of any gender can watch it. We do have a range of other courses available too.
