Junior Defence Academy

We have three levels within our Junior Defence Academy and the all of our children’s programmes are based on the same Defensive Tactics Programme as our adults. This means the kids will learn effective self defence techniques and principles, including:

• situational awareness
• ground defence and wrestling
• effective striking, punches, elbows, knees and kicks
• blocking and defensive movements
• improvised weapons
• short and long stick
• discipline and self control

Little Warriors

Three primary rules will be taught to encourage good decision-making in threatening or potential “bullying” situations:

1. Avoid fighting at all costs.
2. If someone does attack you, defend yourself to the best of your abilities.
3. Never cause more harm to your attacker than is necessary to protect yourself.

In addition to anti-bullying techniques, fitness will also be emphasised in our programs. Circuit training style workouts, obstacle courses, problem solving and critical thinking skills will also be incorporated.

The weekly training schedule will typically but not always consist of one day of self defense, a day focused on fitness, obstacle courses, or problem solving challenges and others consisting of all concepts.

Advancement in levels will also be based on class attendance, enthusiasm, participation, and good conduct in and out of the South West Sydney Defensive Tactics Studio.
