Toronto, Canada, September 14, 2010 (PressReleasePoint) - SAFE International™ is the leading provider of self defense training in Canada. SAFE International™ is pleased to announce the launch of their Toronto High School self defense and Toronto self defense websites. It currently operates throughout Ontario with a focused marketing campaign to provide self defense to women, men, corporate and high school students. Safe International has delivered training to over one hundred thousand (100,000) people since 1994. The company is owned and managed by Chris Roberts who is a professional teaching Director and self-defense instructor.

SAFE International™ believes that Personal Self Defense Protection Education beginning at the High School level helps to develop and ensure that teenage students transition into our communities and workplaces as more confident and responsible individuals. Learning why and how to avoid confrontations may hopefully also translate to not being the originators of confrontation. Their courses for students can be viewed at http://www.torontohighschoolselfdefense.com

The SAFE International high school curriculum is serious but it needs to be taught in a way that is both entertaining and educational or as Tony Robbins says, you need to "Edutain" to both capture their attention and keep it throughout the 4 to 5 hours of instruction. It is very common for students to greet the instructors with a feeling of boredom at the thought of sitting through 60 minutes of talk or techniques on how to avoid potentially dangerous situations. Within minutes the students quickly realize that this is not your average self defense course. SAFE doesn't give one-way instruction such as "Don't Do This or Don't Do That", but rather, it is an interactive roller coaster of potentially life saving information and at times comedy. Ask any teacher or student who has experienced one of the SAFE courses and they will virtually all tell you that the method in which it is taught is the key and biggest reason they call SAFE back year after year to instruct their students whether it be males or females. First, capture their attention and teach it in a way that really leaves a lasting impression, particularly in the case of a possible attack.

For years, schools have offered Anti-Bullying programs, but now with the internet and all its benefits, there is a negative side, Cyber Bullying, another form of bullying which cannot be ignored. Cyber bullying is quite often an extension of traditional bullying and can take many forms including:

Sending texts or emails that are hurtful, hateful, harassing, or threatening physical harm.
Spreading rumours about someone in hopes to embarrass or cause mental and perhaps physical harm.
Sending personal or embarrassing information including pictures of others, all with the intention of intimidating, frightening, ridiculing, or harming someone else.
Pretending to be someone else with the intention of deceptive harm.

SAFE International is pleased to announce the launch of their NEW Cyber Bullying Prevention Program for students, grades 7 to 10. http://www.torontohighschoolselfdefense.com

Bill 168 has just been brought into law because workplace violence is on the rise. Company and organizational leaders have become increasingly concerned about protecting themselves and their staff. SAFE International can address these needs by providing seminars tailored to specific job needs in any service industry ranging from real estate to health care to sales employees. Self protection is a necessity but it is now a form of insurance that will make your business more profitable and your employees more confident and secure.

Twenty five percent of women will be assaulted during their lifetime and the highest risk group is teenage women. This is an alarming fact especially since over forty seven percent of crime is unreported. Women will know their attacker fifty seven percent of the time according to studies. Women lead busy lives and need easy to remember tactics that work in real-life situations. They also need training that fits into their busy schedules. SAFE International's instructors understand the challenges that women face and offer classes, group seminars and private lessons to fit into anyone's schedule.
