YOUTH DEFENDO SELF DEFENCE (Ages 13-17)

National’s youth program is specifically designed to prepare you to succeed in the world today. Our exciting and disciplined program teaches you how to survive the reality of street violence. Through scenario training you will learn how to recognize and defend against potentially hazardous situations in a controlled friendly environment. You will learn boxing, kickboxing, lockouts, and how to defend against common grabs and holds and have fun doing it.
This program is challenging mentally and physically, building a high standard of character. Through STREET-PROOFING and BULLY/GANG-PROOFING we build ASSERTIVE YOUTH that have the courage to make the right decisions when confronted with negative peer pressure and challenges of life. Best of all, our students are able to earn true self-confidence which is your greatest asset.

How Does Our Program Work?


At National we’ve created a unique reward system that allows Youth to constantly achieve short and long-term goals. Our instructors take you through the ranks to achieve international Defendo certification. Each level takes you through an area of study in self-defence. With each level achieved you'll receives a crest. A students level of achievement is displayed on the left side of their pants (as shown on the right) By the time you are Defendo certified you will be skilled in; kickboxing, front and rear attacks, ground defence, joint manipulation, control tactics, mental tactics, psychological preparation and weapons defence.
Through simulated situations of what may happen on the street, National prepares you for virtually any type of assault.

 
     

 

HARD TARGET covers the first of six crests in the Defendo program. At the beginner's level you will learn the most immediate self-defence skills while developing a “NEVER GIVE UP!” attitude to overcome life’s obstacles making you a 'HARD TARGET' for violence and crime. Our classes are energetic and fun, providing a positive, safe environment for students starting out in self-defence training. This is a great place to develop friendships with good people who have a lot of guts.
   
 

COMBAT TECHNICIAN - Intermediate

COMBAT TECH covers the next five crests in our Defendo program. Each crest represents skills from; striking, front and rear defence, ground defence, takedowns, escapes, control techniques and combatics. This is a skills intensive program that teaches the techniques and concepts to control a more powerful attacker. This level builds on the foundation laid in Hard Target and continues to build that 'I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!' spirit through physical and mental training.
