C.O.V.A.R. Defence™

Turn Your FEAR into Power

Some facts about C.O.V.A.R. Defence™

C.O.V.A.R. Defence™ skills require minimal physical fitness and are beneficial to people of any size. The course teaches students that they do have choices. Truly the most  important skill you will develop is to control your mindset. This is a combination you will learn of mind, body and spirit.

What will you learn?
C.O.V.A.R. Defence™ has developed a wide variety of progressive learning programs ranging from non-contact one-day classes on verbal skills to intense multi-week programs which will teach participants to successfully defend against an assailant of any size.

What other benefits will you receive?
Many participants tell us the benefits of class go far beyond learning self-defense. Our seminar attendees report:
  • More Confidence dealing with other people or situations
  • Increased self esteem and assertiveness
  • Improved leadership skills
  • Improved ability to communicate clearly and directly
  • Increased problem solving skills
  • Increased focus and effectiveness at work
  • Calm, clear headed thinking during stress or crisis situations
C.O.V.A.R. Defense tm is based on the idea that learning is best accomplished by “doing” . In all of our programs, you’ll work with a highly trained team of instructors who will create safe, yet powerful scenarios and role plays designed to help you experience the “rush” of self-defense and personal power without the danger or the consequence.All courses are taught in teams of instructors trained in dealing with the physical and emotional process of an escalating confrontation.

Practice in a safe environment
The instructor teaches and demonstrates all the techniques, and coaches students while they  practice. 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.
