In response to a recent attack on a Chester University Student, RBUD is now offering Free-for-Students Self-Defence/Protection classes.

There is no fee, nor will there ever be one at a later date. 

These classes are as a group of up to five students (as the instructor would be the sixth). 

All ages, abilities, experiences welcome.

 

These classes will cover things such as:

 

Awareness

How to Read Body Language

The Fence and How to Properly Use It

What to Look For in an Attacker or Potentially Volatile Situation

Where Best to Sit on Public Transport or in a Public Area

What the Bad Guys Look for in a Victim

We will also teach real-world common sense, reality-based physical techniques, that are basic, easy to learn, and can be executed in a heart-beat. What we teach at RBUD is Street Not Sport, all techniques are based on experience of what actually works. Nothing is hypothetical.

 

Everything taught is legal under the law of the UK as regards self-defence.

 

Sessions can also be tailored to something specific that is bothering you, or that you have experienced.  These sessions are about you, so the material will be molded to fit your needs.

 

 

General Tips:

Stop putting your cards and cash in the back of a clear phone cover. Your advertising your cash, your cards and phone, and if I steal one I've stolen them all.

Don't go out walking in places you don't know alone. 

Always tell a friend where you're going.

Let someone who will miss you know what time you expect to be back.

Don't talk to strangers. Learn to be rude.

If you're leaving a friend behind just because they got too drunk, then you're not a real friend.

Try to keep a tab on how much you're drinking. Don't allow peer-pressure to get you so drunk you don't know where you are.

Don't advertise how much money you have on you.

Don't advertise that you're walking home alone to an empty house.

Don't give people you've just met your address.

Attend an RBUD session with regularity.

 

There are several RBUD General Safety Tips videos available on YouTube and on our About page.
