SAFE International Launches Ottawa Home Invasion Self Defense Seminars – Ottawa, ON Self Defense

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include home invasion self defense seminars in Ottawa, ON.

Ottawa, ON, September 20, 2011 - (Straight Line PR) - Ottawa Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Ottawa Home Invasion Self Defense Seminars

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include home invasion self defense seminars in Ottawa, ON.

For a large city, Ottawa is always considered very safe, and it is.  However, anyone, anywhere, at any time can be a victim of crime.  Home invasions are particularly frightening for the residents as it is so fast and violent, there is little time to react. SAFE International Ottawa self defense can address some aspects of a home invasion and how best to handle by teaching in your home environment.
Here are some things to consider in regards to a home personal safety plan.

1)  Is your home attractive to criminals in regards to the yard being well lit or is is dark?

2)  Are there easy access points to the house, like open or unlocked windows, doors without proper locks, unlocked, sliding patio doors?

3)  Do you know how to handle someone at the front door who is aggressive or trying to get access to your house through made up scenarios like pretending they need phone to get medical attention?

4)  Do you know which rooms in your home are the safest in case of a home invasion?

5)  If you are upstairs with no exit from house, would you know where to go and what to do?

6)  Do you have a family safety plan in case of a home invasion?

7)  Does your family have any Ottawa home invasion self defense training?

One of the reasons that SAFE International has become popular teaching self defense Ottawa, is how receptive their clients are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows people to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one's home environment such as how to handle someone who is aggressive at the front door or has already broken into the house while you are in the house.  We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite.  We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage.  We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible.  Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario.  The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Ottawa home invasion self defense training.  We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario.  We teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator.  Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence.  This is very important as you don't want to terrify your clients right from the start.  It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress.

SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

SAFE International™ Montreal Corporate Safety Seminars provide employees and management with tips and strategies to recognize, avoid, and handle personal security risks specific to their jobs.

Montreal, QC, September 20, 2011 - (Straight Line PR) - Montreal Self Defense, SAFE International Expands Montreal Corporate Safety Training Programs.

SAFE International™ is a leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Canada. It SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its Montreal Corporate Safety Training Programs to include Montreal, QC. The company is owned and managed by Chris Roberts, CEO, who is a professional teaching Director and self-defense instructor.

SAFE International™ Montreal Corporate Safety Seminars provide employees and management with tips and strategies to recognize, avoid, and handle personal security risks specific to their jobs. Prior to the commencement of training, SAFE International instructors spend time with each company learning about their employees and communicating with Department Leaders and those employees working in the field. It is through this personal attention that SAFE International is able to truly design a course that will have lasting positive effects for their clients and their employees.

SAFE International teaches that recognizing and avoiding dangerous situations is always the top priority. SAFE International instructors will address the daily routines and the risks that employees encounter in their daily jobs. Through role playing and discussion, participants will learn how to take common sense measures to reduce the risk of becoming a victim. The knowledge they gain can be applied to all aspects of their profession – direct sales, interacting with customers and fellow employees, travel and other work related transactions.

During a Montreal Self Defense seminar, clients are taught how to recognize different forms of verbal abuse, and how to defuse in order to resolve conflict without violence. Clients participate in verbal drills specific to their job related challenges. It is through these reality based drills that your employees will develop the confidence to handle various forms of abuse, without the need to be physical, while also preparing oneself in the event that it does. These verbal exercises can be particularly valuable when one might find themselves in an uncomfortable and potentially life threatening situation – entertaining clients, traveling, employee differences, leaving late at night by car, taxi or public transit, walking home, etc. SAFE International believes that not only is self protection a necessity, but it is now a form of insurance that will make your business more profitable and your employees more confident and secure.

The second phase of a SAFE International Montreal Corporate Safety course is the physical aspect which addresses how to React and Respond in the event that conflict becomes physical. Participants are taught basic, gross motor self defense skills meant to help one get away safely and as quick as possible. The principles of their teachings are based on how to react instinctively without having to think about what to do. This is not martial arts, but rather, real skills meant for real life scenarios. SAFE International is a complete course covering everything from A to Z in corporate safety training. SAFE International™ addresses the emotional, psychological, verbal and physical segments of violence in today’s world.

Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International also trains/consults people privately on a weekly basis. Private clients include mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.
