| We run basic introductory courses in self defence for a person with a spinal injury. Obviously we focus on upper body defences.
Self defence is not just about showing someone how to punch or deflect an assailant. It also involves making the person aware of good street awareness.
We have a number of sets of body and head protection, this allows people to spar without the risk of hurting each other.
We also have a number of striking options: two shields, a large punch bag and sets of focus mitts. These help people to develop their striking power. | | | | | | | | Frequently Asked Questions | | | | | What will I be taught in self defence? You will be shown how to be more street wise. You will also be shown different types of strikes blocks and locks.
| | | | | | My grip is poor, is this a problem? No, there is still lots we can show and teach you. | | | | | | How effective is self-defence in a wheelchair? Very; it is just a matter of learning skills that are particularly effective from a sitting position. | | | | | | My balance isn’t very good, will this be a problem? We will assess your balance and develop a programme to suit you. | | | | Back to Venture Sports | | | | |
