NHS Discounts: Self defence

Bluewave Korean Martial is a Basingstoke based Taekwondo school with classes for all ages run by our experienced team of instructors. The classes provide age appropriate training from 4 through to adult with a carefully structured syllabus that covers all aspects of Taekwondo including self-defence, traditional martial arts and Olympic Sport Taekwondo. Our adults classes feature a significant focus on effective self defence appropriate for all but especially useful for those working in the emergency services. All our classes are run from our own excellently equipped dojang (Taekwondo gym) in Basingstoke, just 5 mins walk from Basingstoke Hospital. This provides three separate training areas; our main hall for classes, a mirrored area for focused work with small groups and a strength and conditioning area with free weights and gym quality cardiovascular equipment. We also have a comfortable waiting area for parents. New beginners, as well as those with previous experience in the martial arts, are always welcome.

Initially individuals attend my Half Day Beginners Self Defence Induction classes, in Essex these run every month. This includes 1 hour of theory covering personal safety, reasonable force and the mindset of an attacker. Then the next 2 hours cover practical techniques including distance control, voice commands, restraining an attacker standing up, taking an attacker to the ground and restraining the individual to the ground. Training classes also build fitness and complete the session with ‘pressure testing’, where compliantly and relatively the Instructor attacks the training students individually and they apply the techniques they have just learnt in the class. The pressure testing reinforces the actions required to overcome the Freeze element of an attack. Generally most people have heard of the Fight or Flight reaction, however, the self defence training teaches students a learned response to an attack, hence they then avoid Freezing in such a scenario, this is then developed through repetition over further sessions, training includes Knife defence and Rape avoidance.
