Back at the shooting range to train and be safe.

COBRA Self-Defense Academy was again the first option to provide a self-defense course for the Afriforum Neighbourhood Watch.
Some of the members have attended our 10-Week Self-Defense course and 1-day courses. They understand the importance of continuous training because they patrol the streets that are sometimes dangerous

This group is an example to all other neighbourhood watch groups.
Neighbourhood watch groups are voluntary joined and they work hard to ensure safe neighbourhoods.

Great feedback were shared on their experience when patrolling and how our COBRA Self-Defense programme helped them to stay safe and alert.

COBRA Self-Defense Academy was awarded to provide 6 x 4-hours Self-Defense courses nationwide for Red Bull South Africa. These courses were conducted in Polokwane, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit, Durban, and Cape Town. What a great and full energetic group of people it was. These self-defense courses were so successful, it seems that we will provide a few more next year.

Another successful 2-hour self-defense course for these awesome ladies empowering themselves at Ideal Physique Gym in Brackenfell.

COBRA Self-Defense Academy hosted another 1-Day Self-Defense course for Afriforum Neighborhood Watch. What and great and fun group it was and feeling grateful to help them empowering themselves.

Spar Distribution Centre in Phillip chose COBRA Self-Defense Academy to host 8 x 2-hour Self-Defense courses for their personnel. What an awesome group of people and we felt honoured to empowering themselves. The photographer that was taken these photos was attack by criminals with knives when he was out riding with his bicycle. What he had seen and learned at the self-defense course helped saved his life.

WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTO
PHOTOGRAPHER ATTACKED WITH KNIFE AFTER ATTENDING A COBRA SELF-DEFENSE CORPORATE SEMINAR
"I attended your self-defense class at SPAR DC in the capacity as a photographer for SPAR a month ago. Fortunately, I was paying attention while you were running the workshop. A few days later I was attacked while cycling by a “person” with a knife. I immediately knew that he was going to stab me as there were no verbal threats, he simply started stabbing. I instinctively went onto my back, and every time he leaned over to stab me, I used my legs to kick him away. I managed to get hold of my phone and threw it in the opposite direction as a decoy and he fortunately fell for it which gave me the 5 seconds to get on my bike and get away. Until then I had not noticed that he had 3 accomplices with him that were now approaching me, fortunately a waste removal truck appeared, and they then ran. I suffered 4 stab wounds to my legs, two in my left calf, one on my right ankle and one above my right knee. I have no doubt if I had not got onto my back, he would have stabbed me in my body. Thanks to JP’s workshop, when he went through the exercise of getting onto your back, it made so much sense to me. I have just come off all my medication and I have almost physically healed.
Thanks to JP and SPAR, if I had not been at that workshop, I am sure I would not have come off so lightly under the circumstances."

What great day we had at LIVETHEJOURNEY in Paarl, sharing our knowledge with this awesome group in a 2-hour self-defense seminar. 👊👊

Congrats to Academy #9 on their graduation, what an awesome group. We would also like to congrats Pieter Kruger winning the Top Gun award. Thanks to the team that helped.

What great 3 x self-defense seminars we had in Johannesburg and Cape Town at ABSA Bank empowering their employees. 👊👊

Thanks to ByAppointment Boutique for arranging a 4-hour self-defense seminar for this awesome group of ladies. 👊👊

Thanks to Helios Security & Risk Management for the opportunity to share our knowledge with a self-defense seminar for Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital personnel.

What great day we had at SOLIDitech empowering these awesome group in a 4-hour self-defense survival camp. 👊👊

When one of the leading mobile network providers in the country contact you through recommendations requesting to provide self-defense seminars for their male employees, you know that you are being respected in the self-defense industry. These group of men from VODACOM empowered themselves with knowledge about self-defense and the reality in the real world. Looking forward for our next upcoming seminars in the new year. 👊👊

Another great Self-Defense Survival Camp we did today with this awesome group.

This awesome group of youngsters attended our One Day Survival Camp for Kids. Great to see that their church took the initiative to empower their loved ones not to become a statistic of crime.

Yesterday these awesome youngsters attended our TeenSafe Self-Defense Survival Camp.

Friday evening we started with our Academy #9 10 Week Self-Defense course with this awesome group. Hard work ahead.

Today we had awesome turnout for our self-defense camp for kids. Self-Defense is an important life skill every child must learn. Self-Defense does not get taught in school and only 5% of parents in the community will walk the extra mile for their children not to become a target for another crime statictic.

It is a proven fact that only about 5% of our community will ever invest in their own lives to empower themselves to be able to prevent to become a crime statistic. The rest will just complain or be so naive that crime only happens to others. The 2019 Rugby World Cup kicked off yesterday and today SA vs NZ played against each other but this group of people made the decision that their lives are more important, they attended our self-defense training camp for adults to empower themselves and fight back to our current high crime environment. 💪💪👊👊

We had again a great self-defense seminar at Barloworld Equipment.

We recently done two self-defense seminars at Barloworld Equipment. Third one has been confirmed and booked. 💪💪
