Introduction to the issue of self-defense. We will discuss how conflict arises, how attackers choose their goals, how to control their personal space, how to verbally de-escalate conflict, and how to fight if it is not possible to end the conflict in any other way. The course includes legal aspects of self-defense, conflict psychology and mental training. Students will learn about the effects of adrenaline and stress on their body and learn how to keep these conditions under control. The course will include the basics of working with defensive means (telescopic baton, pepper spray).
The course will include video demonstrations of real situations from security cameras and analysis of suitable tactics. The semester will end with model situations, where students will test the acquired knowledge in situations very similar to reality.
