Self Defence and Martial Arts: 5 Reasons Why Its Best For Your Kids

Self Defence

What Is Self Defence?

It is a set of skills, techniques and various countermeasure tactics that enable you to keep yourself safe from harm by being aware of your surroundings, avoiding risky situations or standing up for yourself in an aggressive case.

Self Defence Definition: Self-defence is when a person defends or prevents certain actions being done to themselves, their property or others. To protect property from damage or theft, protects property from illegal appropriation, damage, destruction, or interference, or removes someone trespassing on the land. The response needs to be reasonable apprehension of the circumstances.

Self-defence Law In Australia

se) is a legal justification used in Australia to excuse an act that would otherwise be criminal. The defence is available when someone reasonably believes that they are in danger of being harmed and that the use of force is necessary to defend themselves.

One of the main goals of self-defence is to protect oneself from harm. Another goal is to stop an attack or intruder from causing any further harm. Self-defence laws also allow people to protect their property from criminal law. These laws vary from state to state, but they all allow people to use reasonable force to protect themselves and their property.

Conduct can be considered self-defense if the person carrying out the conduct believes it is necessary to do so in order to: protect themselves or another person; stop unlawful imprisonment; protect property; prevent criminal trespass; or remove someone committing criminal trespass.

 

What Self Defence Training Should Kids Do?

Whilst it is important to teach our precious children to be able to protect themselves from dangerous strangers – there are SOOOOO many levels before that, which are just as important for them to learn.

Kids self defence training that good martial arts schools include are:

  • Non-Violent Conflict Resolution – to teach kids how to deal with uncomfortable situations without violence, and with negative emotions building to an uncontrollable level

  • Bullying Issues – how to deal with bullying, picking on, mean talk, physical bullying and cyber bullying

  • Stranger Danger – what are the 11 different approaches strangers can use. What to do if they are approached, what to do if they are attacked.

  • How To Identify a Dangerous Situation – whether at social events, in the school yard or in a crowded place – kids need to stay alert.

Self defence is about protecting yourself both physically and mentally. You need both – without the mental confidence, you won’t be able to physically protect yourself – you will just freeze.

We understand the importance of our Brisbane self-defence classes to provide a nurturing –safe-fun and energetic atmosphere that enables a child to learn lifelong skills that will help them navigate their way confidently through school. And beyond, they know to protect themselves from serious harm using self-defence techniques.

Brisbane self-defence classes at Focus Martial Arts will provide great enjoyment in a pleasant, friendly and fun environment so that your child will feel comfortable as they make new friends. Moreover, as it is essential to develop a passion for learning, we will provide challenges to motivate and stimulate their learning core because if kids don’t enjoy it, they won’t stick to it and won’t learn.

What’s great, too, is helping them remain confident through a sense of achievement whilst introducing them to the joy of the sport.

Personal Security Through Our Brisbane Self Defence & Martial arts Classes.

In the same way that an adult can feel insecure walking down a street at night, a child can feel vulnerable to peer pressure. The self-discipline that our students develop resulting from our training will provide your child with the skills and mindset necessary to resist peer pressure and alleviate the problems of bullying.

It is not just the ability to protect yourself that we teach. We train both mind and body, so your entire personality gets an overhaul. For example, your child may initially start with “I’m not sure I can” to fairly rapidly realize “I think I can” and eventually to “I know I can”. Our innovative teaching includes the all-important school safe and safe street components to help your child recognize bullying tactics and the know-how to handle them confidently. These are some of the lessons we feel every child would benefit from.

Our Brisbane self-defence classes offer many benefits for children, some of which are less obvious. Firstly, keeping fit.

But did you know that it is also outstanding for cross-training with other sports?
