TARS
Learn to recognise, prevent and manage threats before a situation escalates.
When most people think of self-defence, they think of punches, kicks and physical techniques. But the reality is that most dangerous situations begin much earlier than that.
A change in behaviour. Someone who is getting closer and closer. A person who behaves differently from those around them. A situation that just doesn’t feel quite right.
It is precisely at this stage that the greatest influence can often still be exerted. By identifying threats at an early stage, communicating effectively and making the right choices, many escalations can be prevented.
During the course Threat Awareness & Response Skills (TARS) you’ll learn exactly how to do this.
This course has been developed on the basis of many years’ practical experience in delivering self-defence training to individuals, businesses and government organisations. The emphasis is not on fighting, but on awareness, prevention and decision-making.
Would you like to go about your daily life with greater awareness, confidence and peace of mind?
Then sign up for Threat Awareness & Response Skills (TARS) and find out how to spot threats sooner, prevent situations from escalating and act with greater confidence when it really matters.

TARS for businesses and organisations
TARS can also be tailored to the needs of companies, teams and organisations.
We tailor the content to the situations that staff may encounter in their work. Examples include aggression, inappropriate behaviour, verbal conflict, intimidating behaviour, or situations in which staff need to be able to quickly assess how best to respond.
Where possible, we use recognisable real-life scenarios from the participants’ own organisations. This results in a training programme that is not only theoretically relevant but also directly relevant to the participants’ day-to-day work.
The content, duration and structure of the training course can be tailored to the organisation and its specific learning objectives.
