Be Your Own Body Guard

Introduction

Nobody needs telling that we live in dangerous times. We as a society are becoming desensitized to the cries of the victims and over-governed in our approach to the criminals. Good, impartial advice is hard to come by, and the people giving it are all too often marginalised by the media, the government or public perception. Be Your Own Bodyguard takes the best advice available and provides it in a manner that is easy to understand.

Be Your Own Bodyguard
Be Your Own Bodyguard is designed to create a network of aware, educated ladies (Certified Trainers) who are proactively working in their communities in partnership with local approved martial artists and personal safety experts to empower other women for their own protection. This network is fully supported and allows the Certified Trainers to not only make a difference in their communities, but to also provide themselves and their families with an additional source of income. We understand that the idea of taking a martial arts class might not appeal to everyone, and the impact of the advice of this nature from martial artists is often sidelined as either less than impartial or only effective if you are already a Black Belt. The use of ladies from all walks of life as Certified Trainers is a step towards martial artists reaching outside of their dojo's and sharing this vital information with the people who ay need it the most.

Parties are held in two stages:

• Stage 1: This is a 'party' held in a home environment, led by Certified Trainers and consists of the non-physical aspect of the Course
• Stage 2: This is held in the local approved martial arts facility and complements the first stage with techniques and demonstrations performed by professional instructors.

The course can be delivered during a 2 hour party in a home environment. The format of the course is recommended below, and Certified Trainers should not deviate from this without first seeking advice from their Mentor.
