Martial Arts
On the 23rd and 24th of October our year group partook in self defence classes which took up both days of school. At the beginning we were shown a PowerPoint presentation about different scenarios and what decisions to make in them. I found this very beneficial as I now know what I would do if I got into a dangerous situation.
The rest of the classes entailed learning how to use physical force in order to defend ourselves. I really enjoyed this as I learnt many new techniques to block, punch, disarm and kick. We used fake knives and guns to make it feel as if we were truly being held at either knife or gunpoint.
At the end we had an assessment test to see what we had learned. We were made run a lot during this as when you’re in real combat it is extremely tiring. We had to perform various moves and perform the new moves we learnt.
I really enjoyed these classes.
