FASTDefense for Teenagers Program
|
Children experience some of their most difficult interpersonal situations and conflicts during the adolescent and teenage years. Puberty changes, extreme desires for peer acceptance and to "fit in" somewhere are motivating factors behind the majority of teenage conflicts in and out of school.
Ages 12-17, 15 student/class max, 2.5 hr. duration.
In this Fun and Exciting Program Teenage Students learn the following skills and techniques:
|

-
Awareness skills that allow detection of a potential threat before it occurs!

How to avoid being picked out as an easy victim. (Interviews with convicted felons have shown that attackers search for specific body language in their victims.)

FIND THE POWER OF THE VOICE! - F.B.I. statistics say that 70 - 80% of assaults can be stopped by good verbal boundaries alone.

NOTE: Statistics show that this method of training allows the student while in the Fear state, to find a creative and effective resolution to the threat. Most FAST Defense students never have to use their personal defense skills due to increased knowledge on how to diffuse a situation, thus keeping it from becoming violent!
