Self Preservation And Risk Awareness
Do you ever feel unsafe, or worry about your family's safety?
Do you want to improve your confidence, increase your safety-awareness and learn practical self-defence skills - no martial arts experience required?
Our S.P.A.R.A. course will give you a solid grounding in the principles of self-defence and protecting yourself in your day-to-day life. Train in a supportive environment among like-minded people, and benefit from our instructors' wealth of knowledge to help you avoid confrontation - and know what to do should the worst happen.
What is S.P.A.R.A.?
Martial Fitness has been operating for over 30 years, teaching boxing, kickboxing, and self-defence to all ages - now we've crystallised our knowledge into one method designed to equip you with the tools to stay safe on the streets.
The Self Preservation And Risk Awareness method is founded on the principle that the average person isn't ex-military, police, or a mixed martial artist. You don't want to get in a physical confrontation, and we want to give you the skills to avoid exactly that.
S.P.A.R.A. courses are tailored to fit the occasion, but will cover a range of topics, including:
-
The psychology of aggressors
-
The four common reactions to danger
-
How to set up mental perimeters
-
Using your voice to establish boundaries
-
Tips for navigating the streets at night
-
Ways of making social situations safer
-
The law concerning self-defence and how it affects you
-
How to stand if you feel threatened
-
Simple, effective strikes
-
Common grips, and how to get out of them
We encourage debate throughout - ultimately your best weapon is the ability to think and decide for yourself, and this is what we aim to promote from the very beginning.
