SELF-DEFENCE

COURSES FOR WOMEN

SELF-DEFENCE TRAINING FOR WOMEN IS IMPORTANT. HERE ARE SOME STATISTICS WORTH CONSIDERING:

  • APPROXIMATELY 39% OF AUSTRALIAN WOMEN AGED 18 AND OVER HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE (PHYSICAL AND/OR SEXUAL) SINCE THE AGE OF 15. THIS TRANSLATES TO ABOUT 3.9 MILLION WOMEN.

  • AROUND 22% OF WOMEN, OR 2.2 MILLION, HAVE EXPERIENCED SEXUAL VIOLENCE SINCE THE AGE OF 15.

  • ABOUT 31% OF WOMEN, OR 3.1 MILLION, HAVE FACED PHYSICAL VIOLENCE DURING THE SAME PERIOD.

  • INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING, WITH 27% OF WOMEN (2.7 MILLION) HAVING EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE FROM A PARTNER OR FAMILY MEMBER.

THESE STATISTICS REFLECT THE NATURE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA, EMPHASISING THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE SELF-DEFENCE TRAINING​ 

(SOURCES: OUR WATCH; AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF STATISTICS).

OUR SELF-DEFENCE TRAINING COURSES HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY REFINED SINCE 2008. DURING THAT TIME OUR WORLD-CLASS, HIGHLY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS HAVE CONDUCTED SPECIFIC WOMEN’S SELF-DEFENCE FOR 100’S OF CLIENTS NATIONALLY AND WORLDWIDE, INCLUDING FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS, MULTI-NATIONAL ORGANISATIONS AND THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE.

OUR SELF-DEFENCE INSTRUCTORS HOLD THE HIGHEST CIVILIAN AND MILITARY QUALIFICATIONS IN CLOSE-QUARTER FIGHTING, COMBATIVES, COMBAT SHOOTING AND MILITARY SELF-DEFENCE.

DUE TO THE PHYSIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALES AND FEMALES, SELF-DEFENCE TRAINING FOR FEMALES MUST BE SPECIFIC TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS.

WHILE EFFECTIVE SELF-DEFENCE METHODOLOGIES ARE UNIVERSAL FOR MALES AND FEMALES, MORE FOCUS MUST BE ALLOCATED TO DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOURS, TECHNIQUES AND SYSTEMS WHICH SPECIFICALLY BENEFIT WOMEN.

OUR TRAINING COURSES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HIGHLY-EFFECTIVE, REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS, WHILE EMPOWERING WOMEN WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO AVOID DANGER AND REALISTICALLY DEFEND THEMSELVES IN A WORST-CASE-SCENARIO.

“A THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE WORKSHOP WHICH WAS WELL PLANNED AND EXECUTED.
NICK AND HIS TEAM WERE PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL IN THE DELIVERY OF BOTH THE THEORY AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE COURSE. QUESTIONS WERE ENCOURAGED, AND ANSWERED WITHOUT JUDGEMENT, CREATING A HEALTHY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF FITNESS LEVEL OR PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE.
AS A SUPERVISOR OF THE GROUP, I LEARNT A LOT WATCHING THE MANNER IN WHICH THE MILL TEAM FOSTERED TEAMWORK WITHIN THE GROUP AND DEVELOPED THE LESS CONFIDENT AND ASSERTIVE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM.

TOTALLY RECOMMEND - A ‘MUST DO’”

“THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED. UNTIL I DID THIS TRAINING I NEVER REALISED HOW IMPORTANT MINDSET IS AND THE PREVALENCE AND LIMITATIONS OF BIAS, AND HOW THEY AFFECT YOUR APPROACH TO CONFRONTATION AND HOW OTHER PARTIES REACT TO YOU. I NOW HAVE A MUCH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO WORK WITH MY TEAM AND EMPOWER THEM TO FIND SOLUTIONS. THANKS.”

“ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I’VE EVER DONE. IT HAS INSPIRED ME TO LOOK INTO STARTING SOME FORM OF SELF DEFENCE TRAINING IN THE FUTURE AND EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS WAS JUST A BEGINNER COURSE, IT HAS REALLY GIVEN ME INVALUABLE INFORMATION AND TAUGHT ME SOME BASIC TECHNIQUES THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET”
