Psychological defense
and behavioral strategies
A way of communication and strategic behavior in emerging conflict situation with a risk of physical attack.
From the point of importance, the communication and behavior makes more than 80 % determining factor which is responsible for direction of the next course of the events: What can be either further „escalation & graduation“ into the attack or „de-escalation & pacification“ of problem situation.
We can say that these situations are very similar to a
„chess encounter“, where the know-how of psychological principles and
behavioral strategies can modulate the problem situation outcome in favor of
defender strongly.
Technical self-defense
and combat training
An instant body-mind reaction to the physical attack.
Body & mind means, that defense and counter-attack movements have to be
deeply incorporated in your cognitive and executive brain functions and thus in
your body movements and bio-mechanics.
To give an example, we can say it is similar when you ride a bicycle. Once you know it, you don´t think about it – you do it. But it is also similar when you play a football match: You do it, but while you play you analyse, think, create an instant strategy, decide and move.
Self-defense reaction happens in milliseconds, the whole encounter normally takes just a few second interval.

MUNICH & NÜRNBERG:
30-31 May / 6-7 June, 2020
Workshop in topic:
Psychological defense and behavioral strategies
What are the essential bases for personal security?
We advise to educate in 2 principal areas:
A. Know-how:
Psychology and behavior in self-defense
Important complex of know-how, that includes:
1. Personal safety & situational awareness
2. Analysis: “Reading” the pre-conflict phase and stages of problem
situation development
3. Ongoing psychological and behavioral mechanisms during violence and
conflict
4. Stress reaction and its regulation
5. Synthesis: Decisions in the situation of threat or violence
6. Tactical behavior and behavioral methods designed to deal with violent
situations and conflicts
7. Mental and behavioral prevention as a key to eliminate violence
triggers
The aim of this part is to gain essential understanding of problem situations with a high risk of attack or violence and the many circumstances and factors that need to be taken into account in a very short instant.
Having this knowledge strongly increases the chances of making the right decisions and taking the right actions based on current circumstances in a particular problem situation.
B. Training:
Self-defense and combat principles (level 1-5 )
Training of self-defense and combat principles as an inevitable use or the last option for solving the threatening situation. Our teaching consist of self-defense system of 5 levels:
„SYSTEM SELF-DEFENSE 1“ is a training system of technical self-defense designed for public & novices. Methodology of teaching have been created for those who have no previous experience of self-defense or martial art training. Systematic, clear and comprehensible teaching is tailored just for beginners and teaches the quality basics of the effective self-defense against the most frequent types of threats and attacks (grips, holdings, strikes, attacks from behind..). The aim of the training is to teach the „body – mind complex“ the basic defensive principles, and thus increase the ability of an adequate defense response in situations of physical threat. This course gives you a quality basics and could be seen also as a very good threshold experience into further martial art or self-defense training.
Training in „SELF-DEFENSE SYSTEM 2 – 5“ includes more advanced and highly advanced skill practice of self-defense and combat principles, aiming to build the effective capacity of adequate self-defense and a „body – mind“ action against threatening situations. These training lessons are open to the graduates of the basic course SELF-DEFENSE 1 and also for the trainees with previous martial arts experience.
