Mothers and Daughters self defence workshop - Comberton Village College - December 2007

 'Really enjoyed it’

 'Terrific Sessions, terrific coach. Really gave you confidence’

 It is an increasingly sad fact of life that we now have to be far more aware of our personal safety. The newspapers are full of appalling stories about rapes, muggings and other violent crimes which are encountered by ordinary people on a daily basis.

 On a more positive note, people need not be helpless in the face of an attack. The key to self-preservation is preparation. Fitnessworks’ longstanding background as martial arts experts has enabled us to develop an excellent training programme for those keen to gain the basic self-defence skills necessary for their own personal protection.

 As well as attaining the highest levels in the sport of Judo Fitnessworks instructors have been actively involved in teaching for over 15 years. Our team of professionals hold current coaching and first aid qualifications and have undertaken the appropriate police disclosure enquiries.

 As a fully mobile service we come prepared with soft mats and suitable body protection equipment to enable the students to fully practice and experience all the relevant techniques that will be taught.

 Workshop Aims:

To identify risks of attack and highlight ways to avoid these

To build confidence in attack situations

To provide awareness of ‘Date Rape’ drugs and their effects (modified for younger audience)

To enable participants to use their “weapons of the body” and to be able to identify target areas on attackers body

To feel confident using physical self-defence techniques

 In conjunction with learning the safest and most effective methods of reacting to potential attack scenarios Workshop participants will be introduced to other valuable exercise routines, such as stretching, to improve their suppleness, and be given advice regarding improving levels of physical fitness.
