Corporate Self Defence

Introduction

Anne Pang Self Defence is an empowerment-based form of self-defence that combines martial arts techniques with education on gender-based equality, boundary-setting and social issues, creating a holistic framework for personal empowerment.

History

The system was founded in 1990 by Dr. Anne Pang. It integrates effective techniques from a style of Chinese martial art originally developed by a woman in China a few hundred years ago, alongside modern self-awareness strategies and preventative measures advised by the Victorian Police as well as insights drawn from the experiences shared by her students over the years. 

Two lines of self defence

The first line of self-defence is your mental situational awareness and psychological preparedness. By staying calm and replying on your instincts and common sense, you can often avoid or safely exit two out of three potentially dangerous situations without the need for physical confrontation.

The second line of self-defence is physical techniques that were designed by women for women. It should only be used as a last resort; however, when it becomes necessary, you must commit fully in order to create the opportunity to disengage and get away as quickly as possible.

Corporate Workshop

These workshops provide an overview of the fundamentals in physical defence and mental strategies. They introduce participants to the practical options available when confronted with danger, while also debunking common myths and misconceptions about self-defence. 

Learning Goal 1. Physical: Participants will learn a few basic but effective delf defence techniques reaching the cognitive stage where they can understand and consciously apply the skills with limited capacity.

Learning Goal 2. Mental: Through sharing and storytelling, participants will acquire essential safety strategies for home and public environment, while building confidence and gaining insight into their own inner strength.

Corporate Courses

Longer Courses are also available to corporates and they will develop more reflex and automatic reactions through repetition and familiar drills. They can be during lunch time or after work. The longer the training duration and period, the more your body adapts to the techniques, making them more automatic. As a result, your learning progresses from cognitive to the associative stage; from thinking about the techniques to a more automatic stage.

Partner training will also be incorporated to improve your fitness, accuracy, timing and distance management as well as your ability to cope with fear – ultimately building your overall confidence.

These longer courses of training typically are on the same day each week during the semester. If the participants have irregular time schedule every week and are unable to attend every session, we can provide videos for the missed sessions, so they can stay on track and continue their training without disruption.

The duration of these sessions can be as long one hour or two hours; anytime during work hours, e.g., lunchtime or after work.

Learning Goal 1. Physical: Participants will learn essential and effective delf defence techniques through repetition, developing associative learning. They will proceed to apply these basics and engage in partner training. This enables the body to respond more automatically, often resulting in faster and more effective actions in complex, dynamic situations.

Learning Goal 2. Mental: Through guided discussion and storytelling, participants will develop a broader range of safety strategies for the home, public environment, interactions with known individuals and bystander intervention. They will also learn some de-escalation tactics while building confidence and strengthening their ability to trust their instincts.
