SAFE International™

HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS

One of our prime concerns is todays youth. SAFE International™ believes that Personal Self Defense Protection Education beginning at the High School level helps to develop and ensure that these students transition into our communities and workplaces as more confident and responsible individuals and strengthens our society. Learning why and how to avoid confrontations may hopefully also translate to not being the originators of confrontation.

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 of our instructors are certified through SAFE International and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner.

1 in 4 Women will be assaulted during their lifetime... and the highest risk group is teenage women! We have instructed more than 150 000 high school students since 1994.

We provide 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 and are presented in 2 formats, Level 1 and Level 2.

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

  • Distraction techniques an attacker might use

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. 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.

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.

"This is the third program in self defense I have been part of and this course is the one the students enjoyed the most. I think the humour helps them to remember."
- Teacher

"Chris establishes a strong rapport with students from day one and makes his points about serious stuff in a fresh, entertaining manner. Students love the course!"
- Teacher

"An excellent presentation!!! I've had some self defense instructors who put a lot of blame for their attack on the women ("being stupid" - as he said). The students did not appreciate this. Chris, however, made the same points in his safety talk without being condescending. Great! Also, the level of trust and rapport established very quickly was incredible!!!"
- Teacher

"I think this course was really fun. I learned a lot from it. Also, the talk was great because it gave me pointers on how to handle myself in possibly bad situations."
- Student

"I loved the instructors' humour. It made the seminar fun and interesting. I feel safer now out on the streets. Come back next year and teach us the advanced course!"
- Student

"The seminar I participated in was informative and beneficial. The safety talk was interesting and raised issues on how to prevent trouble which I wasn't aware of. Having taken part in the SAFE International program, I feel more educated in the areas of awareness, prevention, and self defense."
