Systematical and comprehensible teaching in SYSTEM SELF-DEFENSE 1 is customized for beginners and people with no previous self-defense or martial arts experience. Teaching is logically divided into thematic units of practice which include selected simple and functional self-defense principles against most common threatening situations and types of attacks.
This course provides a valuable basis and could be seen also as a very good threshold experience into further martial arts or self-defense training.
Fundamentals:

SELF-DEFENSE 5:
Defense against cold weapons
"SELF-DEFENSE 5“ is focused on self-defense and combat principles against cold weapons. We practice defense as well as the offense methods, thus most effective defense is based on perfect knowledge of the attack. These training lessons are open to the graduates of the SELF-DEFENSE 3–4 and also for the advanced trainees with previous martial arts experience.
Training organizer reserves the right to exclude from training and workshops individuals in which they are seen and manifested: signs of an abuse of the learned combat skills, signs of override behavior over the others, signs of aggressive behavior, signs of non-controlled anger, signs of abuse of the learned skills to the intentional harm to other trainees or to people out of the training and trainees who repeatedly don´t pay attention to instructions given by the coach and thus increasing a risk of injury to self or to others.
Self-defense and combat skills are taught within the frame of one´s own protection & prevention, the protection of others, correspondingly also within the scope of protection of the material goods and the property and most of all within the frame of humanism.
