Your benefit

Benefit from the training: 

  • Self-defense techniques require concentration, self-confidence and clear body language. The training teaches you to take a clear stand and radiate natural authority, determination and composure. This helps you to appear confident in negotiations or difficult conversational situations.
  • Self-defense promotes quick and clear thinking in critical moments. The training teaches you to make structured decisions under pressure and to lead the team safely.
  • The self-defense mindset allows you to remain calm, level-headed and capable of acting in stressful and threatening situations. This allows you to keep an overview even in hectic situations and avoid making wrong emotional decisions.
  • By training in self-defense techniques, you build your self-confidence and self-efficacy. You will develop greater confidence in your abilities, which will help you to set clear boundaries with employees, colleagues and superiors.
  • In self-defense, the person defending themselves decides the outcome. With action-oriented strategies, you will become more aware of how challenging situations can be transformed into effective opportunities.
  • Many self-defense techniques are based on mindfulness and close observation of one's own surroundings and the reactions of the other person. As a manager, this promotes the ability for self-reflection and a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics within the team.
