Protect's Self-Defence, Verbal Communication, and Personal Safety programmes and workshops enable you and your team to recognise, avoid, diffuse and - if absolutely necessary – defend against real world threats or violence. Our programmes give attendees the confidence and skills to know that they will manage the situation and get home safely whatever the circumstances (without creating un-necessary fear). It’s that simple.

 

All of Protect’s programs and events are custom-designed to meet your exact needs. From short workshops as part of a Corporate Wellness Program, Team-Building or Conference Event, to customised training programs on every aspect of Self-Protection, Communication, and Personal Safety. Whatever you need we have a solution.

 

Protect are Internationally renowned for our highly effective and unique delivery of our courses. Every event is built of the foundations of:

20+ years involved with teaching over 100,000 people Australasia-wide has helped us develop training experiences which your team will gain real and retainable skills and information from, and have a great time learning it!

 

Protect’s programmes are safe, interesting and highly valuable to everyone in any profession. Our programmes are built on four pillars:

 

1.  Avoidance, Recognition, and Awareness

2.  De-escalation, diffusion, and tactical communication

3.  Physical response/’Self-defence’

4.  Post-event issues

 

We teach you to recognise and understand the behavioural, emotional and psychological aspects of an escalating, aggressive, or violent person(s) without having to live in fear or constant worry.  The goal is to have strategies to help avoid potential danger at its earliest point. If it cannot be avoided we train you to defuse and de-escalate the situation if possible, and when a physical response is absolutely necessary, we prepare you with realistic physical skills which work under stress and pressure in any situation and environment. 

 

Events can be custom designed to focus on different topics such as self defence for women, self defence for everyone, de-escalation and communication, personal safety, or a bit of everything! All job-specific workshops are custom-designed to deliver exactly what you need.
