Modern Self Defence
Although we consider the modern self defence class to be separate from our usual martial arts remit at the York School of Defence (it isn't historical in any way, shape or form) you can learn a bit about what is offered below.

No fuss, straight to the point self defence training for the 21st century. This class is approached from an entirely modern perspective considering the situations we may find ourselves in on a day-to-day basis. There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with these situations and we will not only consider the physical side of a confrontation but more importantly explore how to identify potential violent situations so they can be avoided and how to de-escalate dangerous situations before they turn nasty.

There is a huge amount of nonsense written and demonstrated about self defence, not a week goes by without a nonsense video being posted on Facebook or Twitter proclaiming to teach the 'one choke every woman most know' or 'vital self defence tips from an expert'. The majority of the poor advice perpetuated about self defence can turn a bad situation into something potentially deadly. |

As well as the physical aspects of a confrontation and learning how to avoid dangerous situations we will consider the legal realities of self defence in the UK as well as the psychological trauma that can result from using force against another human being, even in a self defence situation. There is no foolproof way to prepare you for a violent encounter but we will do our best to ensure you are mentally, emotionally and physically equipped to deal with what life can throw at you.
