FREE SELF-PROTECTION COURSE

If you or your children walk home alone or go running in quiet country lanes, you should attend The Samurai Fitness Group's Self Protection course, aimed to give you the confidence to act, should an incident arise. You will come away knowing how to gain yourself a few important seconds if attacked which might just save your life.

The Samurai Fitness Group is running Self Protection courses FREE OF CHARGE in Cookham at Holy Trinity Primary School on Sunday 19th April.

Throughout the day there will be the following courses:

Ages 4 - 6 Basic Course

9am to 9:45am, Holy Trinity School, Cookham SL6 9QJ

Maximum of 16 participants

This introductory course instills the the concepts of what is safe, recognising what and who can be dangerous and what to do if they feel they are in danger. As we all know the strongest 4 year old would not be able to fight off an adult and so the course focuses more on how to avoid dangers and use body language and voice projection rather than define physical responses to a threat. It develops the basic 'stop stand back' techniques learnt in The Samurai Fitness Group kickboxing syllabus but explores the concept of self protection in far more detail.

Ages 7 - 11 Basic Course

10am to 11am, Holy Trinity School, Cookham SL6 9QJ

Maximum of 20 participants This course teaches the children to recognise their bodily response to danger and the appropriate action to take when they experience that reaction. From issues of personal space, body language and voice projection, the course progresses onto to escape techniques, getting to a safe place and reporting the incident. Ages 12 - 16 Basic Course

11:15am to 1:15pm, Holy Trinity School, Cookham SL6 9QJ

Maximum of 26 participants This course builds on the basic self protection issues of danger awareness, body language, projection of confidence and avoidance of danger but encompasses issues this age group might encounter whilst away from their parents such as intoxication, mobile phones and the opposite sex. This course is realistic and so places the participants in scenarios which are appropriate to their age but are stressful and incredibly insightful. It will provide your child with a skill for life that could help safe their life. Adult Basic Course

2:30pm to 6pm, Holy Trinity School, Cookham SL6 9QJ

Maximum of 26 participants On the 3 hour Self Protection course you'll be put in very real life situations and believe me when I say that your adrenalin will start pumping! The adult course will address: • The importance of body language • How to diffuse aggression • How to decrease your chances of attack • Your body's reaction to fear and adrenaline • Controlling that response so you can debilitate your attacker if necessary. Let's look at it another way... If someone said to you that they could save your life by teaching you to swim in an afternoon, you would jump at the chance! This course will also enhance your confidence in every day life. Don't make the mistake of missing this opportunity to give you or your child this potentially life saving skill.
