Safe International can help
Safe International offers 1, 3, 4 or 5 hour courses which can be taught over consecutive days or all in one day depending upon your needs. We offer high school seminars customized to the class needs and expectations. Each session may include, discussion, role playing and a practical physical component. Our high school course covers the 3 R's of Recognize, React, and Respond
Level 1
Hour 1 - Danger Detection Strategies Safety Talk - through discussion and role playing, some of the topics covered are:
- How to Walk with Confidence
- Importance of being aware of your environment
- Stairs/Elevators in a building
- Safe Use of buses and taxis
- How being too polite can be dangerous
- Distraction techniques an attacker might use
- How giving directions or the time of day can be dangerous
- What to do if being followed
- How to carry purses/wallets
- Why cell phones are good and bad
- The MP3 player, the criminals greatest invention
- Safe Relationships
Hour 2 - Strikes
During this hour the students are taught basic, easy to perform strikes on some of the vulnerable areas of the body. They get to practice with partners safely while also practicing on striking shields. All strikes taught are gross motor movements which can be remembered in high stress situations.
Hour 3 - Escapes, Holds and Groundwork
During this hour the students are taught how to escape some of the most basic attacks such as wrist grabs, bear hugs, chokes, ground attacks, etc. Students are also taught to strike before these attacks may take place.
Hour 4 - Simulated Attacks
During this hour the students get to practice their new skills on a padded instructor who simulates an attack based on the skills that the students have been taught. This is always a highlight of the course with the students (the padded instructor might disagree!) Each student is able to perform at their own comfort level. Students get the opportunity to feel the stress that may be felt during a real attack. This class emphasizes the importance of avoiding dangerous situations.
Level 2 Course
Due to the popularity of our level 1 course, most schools will offer our advanced course to the students in following years. We again follow the format above. This course includes a new safety talk, how to block, additional groundwork ending with an advanced version of our simulated attacks.
Safe International has become Canada's most popular high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that we are not teaching martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on detecting and defusing potentially dangerous situations. All our instructors are certified through Safe International and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner.
