Youth Anti-violence & Empowerment
Bully proof your Children with confidence
An introduction for teenagers
As a parent it is our responsibility to be the protector/guardian of our Sons and Daughters. However when our children get the sense of freedom where they can start travelling to their friends house alone or go shopping for example. Then as a parent we would love to have the peace of mind that our children are street smart and have the knowledge to spot a threat and skill set to de-escalate from an oncoming nuisance or physical threat.
This course is a great introduction for teenagers before they start setting out on their own.
Course covers all modern day threats against a teenager from On and offline bullying, mugging and physical assault.
“My son recently attended Nick’s two session (4 hour total) self-defence awareness course. I was able to observe throughout and participate in the outside “block walk” where the group discussed situational awareness. We both found it incredibly useful.
After the block walk, course attendees took turns to role play a range of challenging physical and mental scenarios. They also learned the importance of having a minimum level of physical fitness!
As the parent of a young teenager living in central London, my son’s safety is a priority, particularly as he enters the riskier ‘young adult’ stage. I particularly recommend the course for kids who are taking early steps towards moving independently around town, or students who are heading off to a university town. Adults of all ages will also benefit from this short course covering mental and physical aspects of self-defence. You’ll come away informed, aware and a little more confident.”
“I really enjoyed Nick’s self defence course. The first session was interactive and interesting, we went outside for a walk and were given examples of what to do in certain situations: using the environment to our advantage, windows as mirrors, cars as shields, and so on.
In the classroom/mat area we learned about offensive and defensive techniques and what dangers to look out for.
Throughout the sessions Nick tested us on what we had been taught earlier, making sure that we remembered everything. I would recommend Nick’s course to any child who wants to feel safer and more aware on the streets.”
