Toronto Self Defense - Safe International Expands Summer Lessons

March 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Lunenburg, ON, -- Safe International is the leading mobile provider of self defense training in Canada including Ottawa and Toronto, Ontario.  Safe International has taught more than 100 000 women and men since 1994.  It currently operates throughout Ontario and is now expanding its Toronto Self Defense lessons for men and women to include summer, group, private and corporate lessons. Safe International has the ability to come to you to you to offer their unique brand of self defense.

Safe International teaches Israeli Style Self Defense to both men and women. They offer a no nonsense approach to personal safety.  The goal is to Recognize, React and Respond to any confrontation in the quickest possible time.  This is not a martial arts course, but rather a practical, effective and easy to learn style of personal security.  Most people wait until something unfortunate happens to a close friend or a loved one.  Don’t wait to help protect yourself and/or your family.

All their self defense courses include how to avoid confrontation through verbal de-escalation/choice speech drills.  Discussion includes the psychology of an attack and how to deal with it emotionally, psychologically and physically.  Most self defense courses ignore the first two aspects and just focus on the physical side of self defense.  Check out the Safe International blog at www.selfdefensecanada.info to read about the philosophies of Chris Roberts, owner of Safe International.

An important part of the Toronto Self Defense curriculum is Close Quarter striking.  Learn how to identify the most vulnerable areas of body and how to strike them in a quick, non telegraphed manner. Discussion on how using a Non Aggressive Posture is one of your best tools to catch an attacker off guard.  The instructors at Safe International cover many devastating strikes such as eye rakes, palm strikes, elbows, knees, kicks plus how to attack other vulnerable areas of the body.

There are only a few primary attacks that are used in real life attacks.  By preparing for those few you are also prepared to handle the secondary attacks.  Even then, all the possible attacks will be covered including... chokes, punches, tackles, grabs, holds, plus how to handle things in the event that they go to the ground.  In more advanced sessions, the participants get to engage in scenario based drills involving High Gear.  This gives students the opportunity to recreate the emotions and aggressiveness of an attack in a safe, controlled environment.

www.safeinternational.biz addresses some of the most common weapons used such as knives and bats.  Clients get the opportunity to practice drills to keep defensive techniques as simple as possible in order to ensure a quick avoidance or escape.

Many women and men join a class to learn self defense, but the best environment to learn the Toronto Self Defense skills is definitely in a private or small group setting. While learning in a class atmosphere might be less expensive and fun, there are several reasons why taking lessons privately or in a small group like our “Best Friends” Course for women make the most sense.

Location - you can train in the comfort of your own home which is desirable for people who don't want others watching them or for those who have time constraints.  Chris finds that many people are self conscious when they learn self defense, so training at home solves this issue along with saving time.

Specific Needs - this might be the biggest advantage.  Everyone has different living conditions, lifestyles, etc.  Chris Roberts can tailor a course that meets your daily needs and routines.  By training in your house, he can address potential trouble areas in spots such as front door, kitchen, basement, etc.  By training in specific scenarios you dramatically improve the learning experience and become better prepared to handle a possible confrontation.  How about training right in your car where you can experience the real obstacles you might encounter?  Training in a mini cooper will be different than if you have a truck.

Pace - you can learn at your own pace without the pressure to keep up with the class.  By taking things slowly,  you improve your ability to retain the information.  You can stop and ask as many questions as you like.  You can analyze and change scenarios without any worries of others in the class being upset.

Family - train together as a family for education and fun.  Develop a Family Safety Plan so you and your family are ready as a team in the event that something does happen.  Being prepared is not paranoia, it is awareness and confidence that you can handle a bad situation.  What is a more important reason to learn self defense than developing the ability to protect your family.  By training the family as a unit, a course can be tailored that will address the specifics of your living environment including handling strangers at the front door, in the home, plus many more situations.
