Some think that to become a self-defence instructor you need to be a black belt in martial arts.
But that’s not true either as this blog post talk about – https://nfps.info/the-difference-between-self-defence-martial-arts/
Others think that you need to have had ‘street experience’.
In other words you need to have had lots of fights before you can become a self-defence instructor.
But that’s not true either.
You don’t have to die to be qualified to be an undertaker!
Teaching self-defence does require some knowledge.
It requires a knowledge of the law.
Which in my opinion is the most important aspect.
Because if you don’t understand what the law allows and prohibits how can you give your students legally correct advice?
It also requires knowledge and understanding of motor skill and performance.
This helps illustrate what skill classification works best in situations of stress and fear.
What’s most important however, is that what is taught works!
So how do you find that out when looking for a suitable training provider?
Well, the best way is by testimonials and reviews from those who have attended.
If other people are willing to offer their recommendation then that is by far the best way to judge a training provider.
And here are some of the testimonials and reviews that we have received about our BTEC Level 3 Self-Defence Instructor Award Course.
