Personal safety 

 

 At StreetSense we know that we are all potential victims of violence and crime. That's  why we  only provide the highest calibre of standards in the design and facilitation of our Personal Safety  & Self Defense courses for our customers. Let StreetSense teach you the Urban Survival  skills you need to keep you and your family safe and lower your risk as a potential target for crime.

 

Our programs can change lives and empowers both men and women to be more confident in their abilities to protect themselves and their families. Reality Based training allows students to learn to use their Personal Safety  & Self Defense skills under realistic conditions. Realistic scenario's teach student's to think tactically and three dimensionally.

 

90% of Personal Safety is knowledge, planning, preparation and practice. The other 10% is learning the skills necessary to react appropriately to threats.

 

Reality Based Training to teaches participants about the physical, mental and emotional effects of violence. It also allows them to safely learn how to confront it and survive. Mental Toughness  training teaches students to overcome their fears and empowers them to fight back.

 

At our courses students learn to function while under the  Adrenaline Response. Our unique Adrenal Stress Induced Saturation Training (ASIST) teaches students to react instinctively and instantaneously to attack. Kinetic Linking and bio-mechanically correct technique ensures that even small people can develop a great deal of power.

 

StreetSense uses 35+ years experience working as Peace Officers to teach students about the realities of how and why attacks occur. We  also address the Sexual Assault Trauma Syndrome so often overlooked in Self Defence courses.

 

It is important to understand that there is a vast difference between Martial Arts vs. Self Defense. Self Defense  in it's truest form is about never being in a bad situation in the first place or escaping a with no injury to yourself.

Self Defense

 

Self Defense is more than a collection of techniques. Life is rarely an A+B=C  equation and neither are the complex dynamics surrounding violence and crime. StreetSense teaches simple, effective and combat proven Self Defense concepts.

 

Our Self Defense concepts involve only Gross Motor Skills to overcome the loss of fine motor skills during the Adrenaline Response. Padded Assailant training and Reality Based Training combine to provide a safe, effective way for students to learn about the realities of violence and how to efficiently deal with it. 

 

A large degree of what makes an individual successful in a Self Defense situation is their mindset. Mental Toughness can be developed through Reality Based Training. Our programs focus on the individual and what they need to succeed. Let StreetSense teach you how to use your most effective Self Defense tool....your mind.

 

We want each student to leave our program with a sense of self-confidence and the knowledge that the concepts and skill-sets they have learned will keep them  safe.  

 

Your safety is our top priority. Our instructors are trained to get 100% effort and spirit from our students and provide a realistic simulation of a violent encounter . That doesn't mean that safety takes a backseat.  From the design of our Padded Assailant armour, to the research and development of our programs, we know that when you attend one of our courses, you are entrusting us with your most valuable asset....your safety. We take this responsibility very seriously. The Personal Safety, Self Defense and Crime Prevention skills we teach are the same ones we trust to keep ourselves and our families safe.

 

Let's face facts, violent crime rates are 4 times higher than they were in the 1960's. Yes murder rates have dropped. This has nothing to do with a decrease in violence,  and everything to do with an increase in the ability of emergency response and medical staff to save people who would have died only a decade ago.
