Self Defence

Working with several professionals in self defence and the martial arts, ATI organises a range of self defence workshops for women.

These sessions are both theoretical and practical, and have proved to be very popular with our members.

The theoretical sessions cover topics such as:

• Safety planning concepts and paradigms
• The Stimulus-Response Model
• Dimensions of a confrontation
• Natural and behavioral based personal protective tactics against common assaults
• Psychology of Confrontation

The practical sessions include:

• How to avoid sudden attacks on the street using 3 principles (Distance, Relative position and Defensive/ Ready Stance)
• Defense against single and multiple strikes to the head using Shield, Crazy Monkey and Rhino techniques
• Ground defense against chokes/ strikes from mounted position using Trap and Roll technique
• Ground defense against rape using Spread and Roll and Rock and Kick technique
• Defense against knife held against throat or a gun being pointed at you
