AAA Self Defence Level 2

This primary training series of the Advanced Defensive Tactics programs build on the foundational skills with basic physical self-defence techniques and additional communication and resolution skills. This program is based on the three steps of A – Awareness, A -Avoidance and A – Action to keep safe from possible conflict or an attack. This is Level 2 the second of three levels included in the program and builds on the concepts and skills learnt in Level 1. There are 10 video lessons that provide additional layers of information and skills to build on those already learnt. This continues to add extra tools and methods that you can call on and use when needed in a confrontational situation to remain safe for you and others. All the information can be used individually or in combination and build a set of methods you can use when needed.

A "AAA - Level 2" learners guide handbook is available with this program. This includes an overview of general principles as well as transcriptions of all program videos, both in the learners guide and individually within each lesson.

Course Content

1. Level 2 Introduction 1min

The Level 2 program is where we are going to take what you’ve learnt previously and add layers to it. It is about adding extra knowledge and skills to what you already know that increases your ability while still staying safe.

2. Balance 5min Sample Lesson

In this lesson we look further at balance and for a potential attacker when they don’t have balance there is no power or threat. We look at understanding the relationship between the joints in the body and the mechanics to controlling balance so as to take control and stay safe.

3. Wrist Grab Advanced -1 3min

Next is a wrist grab (advanced ver1) which is in addition to the one covered earlier in Level 1 with a grab on the same side. In this case the method is moving forward, which is unexpected and confuses an attacker. This causes pain and creates the opportunity to get free and get to safety.

4. Wrist Grab Advanced -2 6min

The next lesson is about a potential attack using a cross grip which is when someone approaches on the pretext for a handshake and then grabs the wrist of the victim. Moving to the outside allows you to stay safe from a potential strike and uses the release point of the attacker’s hand to get away to safety.

5. Hook, Soft Block Advanced -1 6min

This lesson takes the method learnt in Level 1 for the Hook, Soft Block and adds to it by creating pain in the attacker’s arm that causes confusion and the opportunity to take control and time to get to safety.

View Lesson

6. Hook, Soft Block Advanced -2 5min

In this lesson we are going to add another layer to the Hook, Soft Block (Advance 2) by using the principles of balance and the body moves away from pain through a strike to the attacker’s body to take control of the situation.

7. Slap Radial Nerve 4min

This lesson includes a Slap to the Radial Nerve when a person becomes aggressive and tries to push, grab or strike out. This point is often causing a dead arm and creates pain and confusion which provides time and space to get to safety.

8. Hook, Soft Block – Chin 6min

Next, we are going to look further at balance and the principle of wherever the head goes, the body goes, from a hook attack and using the soft block to the chin. This allows you to take the balance and power away from an attacker. This allows you to create leverage to take control of the situation.

9. Soft Block, Sternal Notch 3min

Next, is the Soft Block, Sternal Notch response which creates high pain and confusion resulting in the attacker moving suddenly backwards and often losing their balance and giving you time to get to safety.

View Lesson

10. Choke Defences 5min

Next, we are going to look at Choke Defences which is one of the most common attacks, whether it is from the front, rear or side of the body as well as standing up, against a wall or on the ground. Using a number of methods already covered you will be able to take an attacker’s balance away, create pain and confusion that provides distance and time to take control or get to safety.
