Systematical and comprehensible teaching in SYSTEM SELF-DEFENSE 1 is customized for beginners and people with no previous self-defense or martial arts experience. Teaching is logically divided into thematic units of practice which include selected simple and functional self-defense principles against most common threatening situations and types of attacks.

This course provides a valuable basis and could be seen also as a very good threshold experience into further martial arts or self-defense training.

Fundamentals:

Basic functional self-defense:

  • Defense against grips and holdings from the „front side“
  • Defense against punches (direct & side)
  • Defense against grips from the „back side“
  • Defense against and chokes (elimination and liberation)
  • Use of the blocks and counter techniques in self-defense
  • Defense using pressing on selected sensitive and painful body parts
  • Use of the items of daily use in self-defense
