It is important when selecting a http://www.highschoolselfdefense.com company that you choose the right company.

http://www.safeinternational.biz suggests that the below questions be considered to help ensure that you as a customer select the very best service provider.

1) Does the company teach Reality Based self defense or Martial Arts? While martial arts are an excellent activity, they do not address what happens in real life with the psychology, emotions and realistic attacks in the street.

2) Does the company put some emphasis on How to Avoid Danger? Most self defense companies jump right into physical skills while ignoring the most important aspect of self defense which is to avoid conflict.

3) Does the company teach the students verbal skills, teaching them how to defuse an attacker? Many attackers can be talked down (defused). This is a very important skill which must be addressed.

4) Does the company brag about all their credentials rather than pointing out how they can make the students safer? While you want someone with excellent credentials, you do not want someone who is there for their own ego.

5) Does the company teach strikes that are basic, gross motor movements? In a real attack, no one can remember highly complex skills. The simpler the techniques, the better the chance of remembering them. Do they have the students strike pads or do they have students strike in the air? It is important the students experience making contact.

6) Does the company tell you that they can teach self defense without any strikes, so that you do not need to be concerned with them becoming aggressive? While we always emphasize run when you can, you must teach students basic strikes or you are not helping them to address real self defense. The goal is to avoid but if you can’t, use verbal skills and if that fails, strike in order to be able to get away safely.

7) Does the company teach realistic holds, grabs, groundwork which is applicable to the students or are they more concerned with looking good, teaching fancy techniques

8) Does the company offer a class with Realistic Simulated Attacks recreating the intensity and adrenaline of a real attack? Is it done in a safe format? Some companies have students break boards or punch in the air for a final test. Recreating simulated attacks is crucial in making your students safer.

9) Does the company have an excellent reputation, having taught literally thousands and thousands of students? Knowing how to deal with high school students takes a particular skill and not all self defense instructors are able to do it effectively.

10) Does the company have hundreds of evaluations from both teachers and students?

SAFE International's founder has recently started the Self Defense Canada Blog and maintains relevant information on crime statistics, defensive methods and self defense strategies that every citizen can employ.
