Self Defence Classes in Banstead
Banstead School of TaeKwon-Do offers excellent self defence classes. As a student of the powerful and adaptable martial art of TaeKwon-Do you will learn to coordinate your limbs & core which gives you access to attacking and blocking tools, your hands, feet, arms and legs – your confidence will soar when you discover what you’re able to do.
The mental and physical sides of our self defence applications are developed in various different training scenarios all designed as graded exposure to increasing levels of danger – the important thing to remember is that training with Banstead TaeKwon-Do helps you develop these skills in a relatively safe and friendly environment.
Self Defence Classes in Banstead for Children
You might think that self defence for children is not necessary, there’s no need for them to defend themselves against a world where everyone’s thoughtful and caring. However, we all know that school is hard and being able to defend oneself, physically and mentally, gives children a certain underlying important confidence.
Even from a very young age, from age 4, we teach children important skills to help them protect themselves. How would your child cope if they got lost in a shopping centre? Would they know who to talk to, would they know your name, would they know their own full name, your mobile number? These are just examples of important things we help children learn so that they know what to do if ever Mummy and Daddy weren’t there to help them.
Older children learn physical self defence skills based on the dynamic and adaptable principles of TaeKwon-Do whether that be:
- Releases from grabs and holds
- ‘Judo’ type wrestling
- blocking of threatening attacks to the body
- they do learn to punch and kick too, extremely useful if ever confronted with an adult attacker
All these self defence skills are developed in the safe surroundings of The Priory School Sports Hall in Banstead. We have a friendly and welcoming club where everyone is treated equally.
Self Defence Classes in Banstead for Teenagers and Adults
Teenagers and Adults learning TaeKwon-Do Martial Arts in Banstead learn important skills to help them develop the confidence of dealing with threatening situations. You might only have one perception of the term ‘threatening situations’ and we certainly develop our students to cope well in physically threatening encounters, even when faced with more than one oncoming aggressor.
However, other threatening encounters could be:
- Changing school
- Going to University (do your children have skills to defend themselves when hundreds of miles from home)
- Dealing with exam stress
- Dealing with social peer stress (do your children have the confidence and strength of mind to ‘be themselves’ rather than get caught up with what seems ‘cool’ at the time)
- Preparing for and performing in job interviews
Gradually putting your body and mind under physical stress as we do in TaeKwon-Do training helps to develop a strong character. Learning to cope with the requirements of a Martial Arts Grading gives you confidence that you can cope in stressful scenarios, such as exams or job interviews. Preparing for a good performance in TaeKwon-Do Competition helps with performing well in many areas of life outside of our training hall.
‘Kickboxing bullies’ are not a product of TaeKwon-Do training, we learn to cope with these types of people fairly easily. You can be assured that through TaeKwon-Do training you can become a well rounded, confident and courteous person.
Of course, our physical training emphasises self defence against threatening people, punch and kick attacks, any type of edged weapon or impact weapon – these skills take some time to develop but you’d certainly be better equipped with them than without them.
