Self
defense & the law
You
have the right to use reasonable force to prevent a crime including defending yourself
If
you must fight back, adopt what police term the "bash and dash" approach.
Primary
targets are the eyes, nose, chin, throat, groin, knees or shins; whichever is easiest to get to.
Once
you've have stunned your attacker, run away!
Do
not use excessive force (e.g. to “teach the attacker a lesson”) or use anything that the law would regard as an
offensive weapon - YOU could end up being charged with assault.
Don't be just another statistic in the endless list of victims of unprovoked attacks or muggings. Hardly a day goes by without
a report in the Media of a vicious attack of sorts on an individual, who was being a threat to no one. There seems to be little
respect left for people's life, privacy or property. It has become therefore essential that we learn to defend our property,
our families, and ourselves.
At chadwell Kickboxing we offer you the chance to acquire and improve your self-defence skills in a rather short period
of time. Kickboxing, and in particular chadwell Kickboxing, is undoubtedly one of the fastest and most efficient self-defence
systems you can ever learn. Whilst we cannot obviously guarantee that you will be unbeatable, we will train you to be more
aware of your surroundings, to be alert, to develop your reflexes and to react positively if and when you need to protect
yourself. We do not claim to have the ultimate answer to the problem but the skills you will learn will help you to assess
the situation and give you an edge that you may not otherwise possess.
