Safety – Awareness, Pre-Conflict Cues & You – Advanced Defensive Tactics Institute

“Self Defence” and staying safe starts with being aware of what is happening around you and what others are doing, saying and behaving. Understanding what are possible cues for a potential attack will keep you and those you care about safe. In this course we look at the common pre-conflict indicators shown by an aggressive person preparing to attack.

A “Safety – Awareness, Pre-Conflict Cues & You” program learners handbook is available with this program within the available lessons.
