Being Bully Free
is a right not a priviledge, training at Quest Martial
Arts allows students to practice
in a safe environment.
They being with improving their verbal skills, they learn
what to say how to say it, and the difference between being
aggressive and assertive. Then the
instructor teaches and demonstrates all the physical techniques,
and coaches students while they practice verbal and
physical skills. For classes involving strikes, the instructors
wear padded armor and are trained to allow you to hit and
kick with full force.

THE PROGRAMS
LEVEL ONE: NON-CONTACT,
VERBAL BOUNDARIES
In this program,
you will learn how to assert yourself and deal with natural
excitement and fear that can cause you to freeze-up when faced
with an aggressor.
- You will be lead through simple but effective
drills and scenarios designed to help you overcome the uncomfortable
feelings and fear that can mark you as an easy target for
attack.
Understand how to use your emotions to
help you become stronger and safer. Fear and anger are tremendous
sources of power when used in defense.
The
Level One program has no contact and is the perfect introductory
program.
LEVEL TWO: "REDMAN
DEFENCE"
With
the support of other students and the instructor, each student
has opportunities to practice using his or her skills, judgment,
and emotions in simulated attack scenarios. Because the mock
assailant wears heavily padded armor, students can deliver full
force strikes and kicks. This state-of-the-art rubber suite,
known as the "Redman" suit, lends an aura of reality
which is highly effective during our self-defence training.
The step-by-step process of developing
skills and confidence builds from class successes. By the
end of the course, students have repeatedly used their skills
to assess danger, set boundaries, and respond effectively
to verbal and physical attacks.
Students learn to deliver effective
strikes and kicks to vital areas. Studies show that information
learned under an adrenal stress becomes firmly rooted. Basically,
what you learn under stress sticks. Still, this class is as
enjoyable as it is effective. You will be surprised how much
fun learning these techniques will be. |
