FAST Defence (Fear Adrenal Stress Training), FAST Defense & Model Mugging
This is the safe and effective way of learning to handle very intimidating, threatening circumstances and optionally a real physical fight without anybody getting hurt. See a powerful FAST course video with Bill Kipp.
It is extremely empowering - and fantastic for self confidence and assertiveness.
MAX Conflict Management is certified to provide FAST Defence Childrens' and Adults' Self Defence training - winner of one of the highest accolades in the industry by Black Belt Magazine in 2006.
FAST Defence is the most effective self protection programme that we have ever come across, and amongst all the different staff and respected acqaintances of MAX we have tried most defence systems and martial arts from around the world.
FAST is not martial arts - it is for anybody who wants to quickly (FAST, - the clue's in the name!) learn through an intense experience how to rapidly develop confidence and assertiveness - and protect themselves.
FAST stands for Fear Adrenal Stress Training and developed from the original Model Mugging http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Mugging pioneered by Matt Thomas in the early 1970's. This specialist and highly realistic training has been refined and developed over the last thirty years by the founder of FAST, Bill Kipp, who trained MAX staff in Freiburg, Germany.
The reason FAST is so effective? It incorporates what Geoff Thompson calls "Fighting without Fighting" http://www.geoffthompson.com/detailProduct.asp?id=22 but also gives you the basic skills to protect yourself physically if this is required. Most of the time fighting is not necessary if you master the awareness and boundaries element of our training. We have had the pleasure of also training with Geoff and are Level 1 instructors in the Geoff Thompson system. We also respect and have trained with many other highly accomplished reality-based self protection trainers and try to bring the best of all systems together in MAX.
MAX was trained by Bill Kipp in Germany in 2008. Since then we have applied the FAST Defence Technology across a broad range of applications - from Anger Management with Young Offenders (VIDEO) to Anti-Bullying for children and teenagers (VIDEO) and protection for Lone Workers Personal Safety (VIDEO).
