A lot of people confuse martial arts and self defence, and lots of clubs claim to be teaching self defence, when in fact they are just teaching people to kick and punch.
Although there is some crossover, there is a lot more to learning self defence than just being able to kick and punch.
Self defence training covers much more than just that, and includes:
The law, reasonable force and perception
Situational awareness
Effective blocking/covering
Use of effective striking
Nerve points
Break away techniques
Grab and restrain
Take-downs
Ground defence
Disarming and more
See the cobra martial arts website for full details of the self defence training courses they run.
There is also another very useful post around “does your club really teach self defence” that you might be interested in.
Our chief instructor of Impact martial arts, Wayne Timlin, is a fully trained cobra martial arts association self defence instructor.
