Self Defence Course for cyclists in Pretoria/Centurion

[RudoJ]

I have met representatives from Shido as part of my daily work. They operate a Mixed Martial

Arts training academy and present various self-defence, fitness and related courses

 

They can structure a self defence course for cyclists, and equip the riders with the skills and knowledge on what to do in the event of a hi-jack situation and how to escape without injury

Their website address is www.shido.co.za

One of the trainers gives hand to hand combat training for the Military

 

If enough cyclists are interested a 12 hour course will be presented (think the minimum is 10 students). This isnt simply an hour discussion on how to avoid a hi-jacking situation, but on what to do once involved and how to escape unharmed, and maybe even with your bike still in you posession.

 

If the interest is big enough, I will make the arrangements. PM me if you are interested. I have already set up a meeting with them for next week Tuesday to get more information on the course content

 

One of the founders (Arno Pienaar) demonstrated some of the techniques on me and I coulndt believe how effective it was.

 

disclaimer: I'm not involved with them in any way. Just felt we have to protect ourselves as much as possible.

These courses do add value in making people / cyclists aware. Just remember that the most effective deffence ALWAYS is to run away / walk away and that should be the only goal. Technicques takes lots off practise and repetition...... not even to mention the effects of "adrenaline dump".
