On the Streets
Enhance Your Personal Security
You've thought about your own safety and security, and that of your loved ones, but you're not interested in joining a local martial art studio to learn how to defend yourself. You simply believe that martial arts can't really teach you the Street Defensive Tactics you need for today's mean streets - it just takes too long and you want to learn it now.
Many other people, like you, feel the same way. For those of you who feel that they and their family may be at risk NOW and WANT to learn how to defend yourself, your best avenue is one of SDTS' Street Defense Tactics Programs such as:
- Basic Home Security Tactics
- Travel Personal Security Measures
- Mean Street Defense Tactics and Fighting Techniques
- Blunt and Edge Weapons Defense Tactics
- Short and Long Gun Defense Tactics
Although our programs are set up to meet most peoples' needs we understand that you and your group may have specific training in mind. With that, our training programs can be customized to suit individual needs - we'll work with you and your group to develop the training you want around our core programs.
Swarming or Street Attacks
Another area that many have a concern for are attacks from small gangs of people on the streets, in parking lots, and other isolated places. This type of attack usually involves male teenagers or young men who corner another male to either bully them, rough them up or rob them. If they turn their attention to a woman, it is usually to engage in some other form of assault. Today, this type of attack is also referred to as "swarming."
Men and women of all ages and social backgrounds can be the victims of a swarming or street attack. Men have often been associated with such attack but recent reports in various countries cite a rise in teenaged girls or young women engaging in swarming attacks and other forms of violence such as overt and covert aggression, direct and indirect violence, or physical and social bullying1. The study cited explains that the causes for this rise widely range from behaviour disorders, to gender issues, to experiences with abuse, drugs, mental illness among many.
Street Defense Tactics Systems can work with the client or group to develop a training course specific to their needs.
