Krav Maga VIP Protection Workshop – 19th of June

On Saturday the 19th of June Krav Maga Canberra will be holding a VIP /
Third Party Protection workshop covering some releases from common holds,
knife threat situations and some drills to enhance these skills. The
workshop is specifically aimed at giving people practical skills to protect
either a loved one, another individual due to a work related obligation
(VIP protection) or an unknown third party if you feel a sense of moral
obligation to assist.

Couples may find this workshop of particular interest as
the drills and scenarios will include threats to a partner / friend / loved
one and how to react and deal with these situations if they were to occur.

This workshop is open to the general public (over 18 years of age) and no
previous Krav Maga or martial arts experience is required. The workshop
will be run at Eddison Park in Woden and start at 9:45am lasting
approximately 4 hours at a cost of $40.00pp.

If you are planning to attend please contact us via email (contact us) so we
can cater for the number of expected participants. Additional details,
maps, what to bring on the day and other workshop / introduction dates can
be found on the Krav Maga Canberra website
