It's not easy for a lot of instructors to approach each student as an individual and have what can sometimes look like a messy training room. It's a lot easier to have 20 students all lined up repeating a set pattern, but the reality is that size, sex, strength, confidence, experience, natural skill and levels of commitment often mean that you have to give individuals varying levels of instruction, training, development, coaching, mentoring and support. Defiance Combat back in the day would have been called eclectic. • How to instruct and market: o Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© Family Safe o Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© Executive Safe o Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© Female Safe o Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© Kid Safe o Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© Nurse Safe o Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© Student Safe What does Foundation mean? Foundation level is the entry point for instructorship in the Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System©, it is the primary building block for the thinking, technique and coaching competence that will enable you to not only teach the programme with competence but also enable you to move forward to the Advanced and Elite levels in the programme. People learning self defense have questions! Many of them. Covering: • How do I do? (Technique) • Can I do that? (Behaviour) • Can you help? (Coaching) • I can't do that! (Motivation) Foundation Level Coaching Certification is the cornerstone of the instruction process, your ability to develop the individual to apply self defense techniques on both a physical and psychological level is the real test of competence. Foundation Level Instructor Certification gives you the competence to answer questions on a technical and behavioural level, to facilitate the best performance from those with personal doubts about their ability and enable them to perform. On successful application you will be able to teach the Defiance Combat F.R.A.C.T System© programme as a standalone training programme or as part of your own self defense, martial arts instruction programme and sign off on a Certificate of Competence for Practitioners on the Foundation level; you will also then be able to apply to attend the Advanced level training programme. During the 4 day certification programme, we work through 'Lesson Planning and the Time To Competence', which means as an output you can utilise incorporate this in the following ways: • Small Sessions/ Single Workshop We know that some people want a single Self Defence workshop, this may be a 1 day session, others will want a number of sessions. Thus you can run a short course for those that want this for example 1-10 sessions, a session being a day or a few hours, the SAFE Programmes are designed with this in mind • Club Level - Self Defence You run a self defence club in the same way you would run a martial arts club, the difference being that you aren’t covering a huge catalogue of moves; you are in this case teaching people a stripped down approach and then working with them each week to practice these moves to a level of significant expertise. The outcome isn’t years to learn 100's of technique, years to master them and then years to translate them into a reality based situation. But an accelerated route to mastery of a core selection of techniques through high levels of repetition and mastery of ones psychology and physiological responses due to understanding and an ongoing move to inoculate against stress factors due to scenario based training. In this way Foundation level can run indefinitely as the coach works within the programme to create a constant focus on challenging scenario based learning challenges, this never ends. • Club Level - Martial Arts You are running a martial arts club and want to include the F.R.A.C.T System to run as a dedicated self defense programme as above to add value to your offering and keep your martial arts classes traditional and pure; or you want to blend it into your classes in a seamless offering as part of your overall approach. A club can offer Small Sessions and Single Workshops, as per the SAFE programme as described in the Value Component section. Value Components "It's really important to see this as a package, rather than just one thing, it's hard to put a price on each individual item, but combined they make hugely powerful combination."
