At Foothills Jiu-Jitsu, self-protection goes beyond physical combat skills. The primary objective in a self-protection scenario is to avoid or safely escape the situation, emphasizing the importance of situational awareness, confidence projection, verbal de-escalation, and if necessary, use of force to address a threat. Students are trained in a variety of techniques including strikes, kicks, joint-locks, throws, takedowns, and ground defence to build a solid foundation in self-protection.
By offering well-rounded instruction in self-protection, Foothills Jiu-Jitsu aims to equip students with the skills and mindset needed to navigate potential threats effectively. The school follows the legal standards outlined in Section 34 of the Canadian Criminal Code regarding the use of force in self-defence, ensuring that students are well-informed and prepared to handle real-life situations responsibly.
