Er, right, so this is a "conflict management" course? From the video it looks like more like "learn how to punch and kick people" - good training for would-be thugs, but isn't this encouraging conflict rather than managing it? This video also does rather reinforce the stereotype of the British people as aggressive and obsessed with violence. I mean here you are teaching children how to street fight.
@vkman34 we train people to effectively manage conflict of all types - from minor disagreements to real threats of violence. We empower all ages and believe in the right to self defence - but only as an absolute last resort. The video states this very clearly, getting away safely is the priority. Our students are paradoxically much less likely to fight (they demonstrate very effective non-fighting techniques) & have confidence & ability to use all techniques against a predator. It works.
