Most people have an understanding of what the term self-defence means, however in our experience the term self protection is less widely understood. Self Protection is a term used where someone proactively takes precautions, increases awareness and understanding of risks in both the workplace and general environment in order to avoid confrontation, assault, theft or other undesirable results.
Many of the principles discussed and explained on our courses are very simple to implement and have no adverse impact on someone's professional and private life, but may have a major affect on their and their companies safety and security.
Corporate courses are run in an office environment with Powerpoint presentations and active discussion from all the participants. Attendees are encouraged to discuss how the principles covered apply to their working environment and also their life outside of work. This is a course that actively promotes prevention and safety.
The topics covered are simple to implement and cover a wide range of different working environments and practices. Securing both your employees, the company site, company equipment and information could be a very financially rewarding preventative measure.
About the Course & Instructor
When Tony Willis was a Director working in the City of London and travelling extensively on business, he noticed that the majority of people he travelled with or met had little or no idea on how to ensure their personal safety, security of sensitive documents or confidential items such as laptops. Tony has been involved in the martial arts for over 30 years and teaches kickboxing, Kali/Eskrima/Arnis, Kung Fu, self-protection and self-defence. Although there is a high demand for self-defence courses there is little awareness of self-protection, which can be likened to locks on your windows or a burglar alarm while self-defence can be likened to calling the police to report a break-in. Additionally self-defence takes some time to learn effectively, is physical and therefore may not be suitable for teaching in the workplace.
This course is designed to cover a large number of topics through discussion and
presentation within a 4-hour session held at your workplace. Tony has held NATO, USAF & Metropolitan Police Security Clearance.
