What Our Workplace Self Defence Training Covers
Our workplace self-defence training is tailored to meet the needs of employees at all levels of physical fitness and experience. Led by experienced instructors, these sessions cover a range of techniques designed to defuse, escape, and counteract threats. Participants learn practical skills such as situational awareness, effective communication to de-escalate potential confrontations, and physical techniques to defend against various types of attacks.
The Growing Need for Workplace Self Defence Training
At LiveWell, we understand the growing concerns around personal safety, particularly in light of rising violent crime rates. To address these concerns, we offer specialised workplace self-defence training, conducted directly in the workplace. These classes are designed to equip individuals with the skills and confidence needed to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations.
Recent statistics in the UK highlight the urgency of self-defence training. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), there has been a significant increase in violent crimes over the past few years. Last year, the number of recorded violent crimes rose by 7%, with grievous bodily harm (GBH) and other assaults in public spaces becoming more prevalent. This alarming trend underscores the necessity for effective self-defence training, not just for personal safety, but also for fostering a sense of security within the workplace.
The Benefits of Workplace Self-Defence Training
The benefits of incorporating self-defence training into the workplace extend beyond personal safety. Employees who feel confident in their ability to protect themselves are likely to experience reduced stress and anxiety, leading to improved mental health and overall well-being. Additionally, these classes foster a supportive and cohesive workplace environment, as employees bond over shared learning experiences and mutual support.
At LiveWell, we are committed to providing comprehensive workplace self-defence training that empowers employees to feel safer and more confident both inside and outside the corporate workplace. By addressing the increasing risks of violent crimes and assaults, our extensive self-defence classes play a crucial role in enhancing personal safety and promoting a positive workplace culture.
What is included in our self defence classes...
Why bring Self Defence to your workplace?
Self defence is not only used to physically defend yourself, but it is there to help make you more aware of yourself and your surroundings. This starts from walking out of your house to whatever destination you are going to. This could be transport, shops etc.
Workplace self-defence training offers numerous benefits that extend beyond personal safety. It equips individuals with essential skills to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations, fostering a sense of confidence and security. By reducing the anxiety associated with personal safety, self-defence training can enhance mental well-being and reduce stress levels. Furthermore, these classes have been designed to promote physical fitness and agility, which contributes to overall health.
Fostering a Positive Workplace Culture
The collaborative nature of self-defence training also strengthens team cohesion, as employees bond over shared experiences and support each other's progress. Ultimately, self-defence training creates a safer, more supportive, and empowered workplace environment.
What’s included are tools to help with mental and physical awareness i.e. safe zones, how and where to strike, grabs and how to get out of them. Your team will have fun whilst still enjoying the benefits of learning how to look after themselves in today's volatile society.
