OUR GOAL
This project is to empower the community with options to keep people safe through specific training for both students and the instructors that train them.
We already have and are creating defensive tactics - personal protection courses that provide the community with appropriate and effective strategies to keep people safe in a crisis.
We are defining what defensive tactics / self-defence means, within the structure of a course. The formulating of standardised core elements to meet a set course criteria is essential. This will ensure students are trained with the correct content.
Instructors will also be trained to follow a set, proven, effective and endorsed curriculum. This will ensure continuity and meet the challenges the community are facing, so they can address them with the right responses.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help make our community safer, empower more people with confidence and provide them with options to protect themselves.
They still may have to face such things as (home invasion, car jacking, street assault, domestic violence, work/social harassment) but they will be better equipped to deal with them.
Our Australian Instructor standard for teaching defensive tactics to children in schools and for women / family groups will have a positive impact on their lives.
These courses will include relevant material that provides proven effective response options to deal with a broad range of threats.
We will be constantly updating material and connecting with more specialist consultants to adapt to the changing threats our community is facing.
MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTORS
Many Martial Arts Instructors teach the community self-defence courses, as an add on to their standard curriculum.
Due to there not being a standardised instructor qualification to teach this sensitive area of personal protection, their skillsets vary dramatically. The course material also varies a lot, which can cause problems with the effectiveness of the course and the safety of the participants. The Education Department is also evaluating in school self defence programs,
as there is disparity in skills and course content . We have made our recommendations to the department with the need to raise the level of qualifications, so children are kept safe.
