AWARENESS & AVOIDANCE
Being “switched on” to your surroundings and being aware of your situation is one of the most important factors of your personal safety. WT will teach you easy to understand techniques of awareness & avoidance.
BODY LANGUAGE
Observing someone’s mannerisms – how they stand, how they are using their hands, facial expressions and gestures – can tell you a lot about a person’s intentions. WT will teach you how to recognise these signs so you can be one step ahead.
VOICE CONTROL
The effect of an assertive voice is often widely overlooked in the tuition of self-defence. Yet in certain circumstances this technique can be as effective as striking someone. WT will teach you how to use your voice assertively in applicable situations.
FEAR
Fear can stop someone in their tracks, with potentially disastrous results, when everything they have learned drains from memory as the effects of a huge adrenalin surge takes over. WT will teach you how to recognise the effects of fear, to control it and use it to your advantage.
EFFECTIVE DEFENCE
Styles that involve power become useless to women or men when pitted against bigger, stronger men. WT was designed by a woman, and will teach you how to disable your attacker without the use of strength, but using just 4 basic principles instead.
SIMPLE SYSTEM
It is scientifically proven that to learn one simple movement effectively takes 10 hours. Some styles practice literally hundreds of movements, leaving you with a knowledge of many moves, but an inability to perform any of them properly. WT will teach you how to defend yourself against 90% of attacks with just one move.
DEFENDING AT ALL DISTANCES
Some styles teach you effective long range defences but nothing about close in fighting. Others are incredibly effective on the ground, but are limited in their ability whilst stood up. WT will teach you effective self defence at all five distances – long range (kicks), mid-range (punches), short range (elbows and knees) and anti grappling (ground fighting).
THE LAW & SELF DEFENCE
WT techniques are compliant with the law. The Safe Defence program was developed with this in mind. Indeed the WT system is used by many organisations for the personal safety of agents, including the FBI, CIA, US Marines, the Australian Protection Service and many European Special Forces.
SELF DEFENCE IS NOT A SPORT
It is important to remember that many styles teach within a sporting environment, and as such are restricted by rules. WT is not a sport, it is pure self defence. WT will teach you how to defend yourself effectively on the street, where there are no rules.
