“The instructors broke challenging exercises into manageable steps. I appreciated the attention given to awareness, control and responding proportionately.”
Here at Phoenix, our combination of expert instructors and operational experience on a global stage
makes our security courses some of the best and most exclusive on the market today.
Our Unarmed Combat Training Course is no exception.
We understand that the need for hand-to-hand unarmed combat is rare during close protection assignments.
However, it’s vital that if an environment does turn hostile, you have the skills needed to protect yourself and your client in a safe and professional manner. With this in mind, we have designed our unarmed combat training to provide you with the skills you need to be prepared for every eventuality.
Our unarmed combat training programme covers multiple attack scenarios, whilst teaching vital skills like conflict management, situational awareness and physical intervention. In addition to these core skills, the training also includes more advanced techniques which will advance your close protection expertise. If you’d like to add close quarter combat (including weapons) and counter-attack to your skill-set, this is the course for you.
Created with the aim to fully prepare you to handle unexpected and volatile situations, our unarmed combat training is conducted by experts who understand the challenges of operating as a close protection officer. We provide unarmed combat training as a stand-alone course, or as part of our more comprehensive close protection training course.
Our course includes:
The training is conducted in a state of the art purpose built martial arts gym, taught by our vast experienced team including 2 x and a 4 x World Champion in various disciplines.
With a world where camera and video are a pocket away – we must be mindful that our actions will be seen by members of the public and we must justify any force that we use. Excessive force will not only damage the clients brand and image but could result in prosecution for yourself.
