WHAT IS COMBATIVES?

Combatives is a principle-based method of avoiding violence using awareness, knowledge of pre-violence indicators, de-escalation, and escape. If these primary methods of avoiding violence fail, and if physical self-defense is absolutely necessary, only then are effective counter-violence methods used.
But avoidance is always primary.

TRAIN WITH US!

SCVS is non-profit training organization dedicated to helping you avoid violence. Our training is open to anyone 18 years old or older. Men and women of all ages are welcome, including seniors, because self-protection isn’t just for athletic young men. 

We offer you a FREE introductory lesson on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 1800-2000, at our school. Remaining introductory training dates for 2023 are September 20, October 4 & 18, November 1 & 15, and December 6 & 20. Again, your first introductory lesson is free, and you may bring a friend with you. But space is limited, so please register ASAP by emailing John at: john@combatives.at

Your introductory lesson is a mixture of discussion, demonstration, and participation in actual physical self-defense training.

You will learn:
    •    WHAT IS COMBATIVES?
    •    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “SELF PROTECTION” AND “SELF DEFENSE”
    •    HOW WE TRAIN TO AVOID VIOLENCE (OR MANAGE IT, IF IT CANNOT BE AVOIDED)
    •    HOW AND WHY VIOLENCE HAPPENS
    •    HOW TO DETECT POSSIBLE VIOLENCE
    •    HOW TO DE-ESCALATE POSSIBLE VIOLENCE
    •    BASIC PHYSICAL SELF-DEFENSE METHODS (COUNTER-VIOLENCE)
