Eight students namely Chantal Marie Cassar, Lucia Cortis, Patrick Pace, Paul Azzopardi, Roberto Formosa, Veronica Ellul, Mark Grech and Jesmond Grech have successfully completed a ‘Basic Self-Defence course’ organized by the Malta Self-Defence Academy. The course which consisted of twelve sessions introduced the students to a variety of Self-Defence techniques together with a number of blocks, strikes, grabs and locks. Throughout the course, the students were also introduced to other techniques and skills such as; awareness and avoidance; body language; conflict management; voice control; fear control; effective and tactical intervention.

Enrolling oneself in a self-defence class is highly beneficial to the student. Although one’s primary goal is to learn how to defend one’s self, the class helps one to achieve a healthier psychological and
physical state. Other factors such as; self-discipline; self-confidence; socializing; and dexterity/flexibility among others are all benefits of such a class.

Learning to defend oneself is learning a skill and an art at the same time which need continuous development based on a combination of theory and practice. As in any other form of arts, to master such a skill, a student needs patience, practice, motivation and personal attention.

Malta Self-Defence Academy is now opening applications for students who wish to enroll in a Self-Defence
class based on a mixture of classic and modern Chinese martial arts. More information can be found by sending an email to info@maltaselfdefenceacademy.com

Today, the Malta Self Defence Academy concludes another course in Basic Self Defence. The academy wishes to congratulate all the successful students who have completed the course. The academy is currently working on fresh courses including, introductory courses to self defence; advanced self defence; defence against weapons attacks and  one to one coaching. For more information about upcoming courses you can send us an email on info@maltaselfdefenceacademy.com
