ODBRANA: The Top Five Reasons

The Top Five Reasons That People Should Consider The ODBRANA Self Defense System For Home And Street Protection In the modern world, we are often told that people should learn to talk out problems and not to resort to violence. However, sometimes in life we are faced with problems that cannot be talked away. You may be walking down the street one day when a person pulls out a knife and threatens your life. It is also possible that your home could be invaded while you are sleeping in your bed. In these situations, your only choices are to flee or to fight. Sometimes, there is not choice to flee and it is imperative that you fight. To increase the chance of success in defeating attackers though, training is required. This article has been written to tell readers about the ODBRANA fighting system and how it can be used to drastically reduce the risk of losing a fight and protect yourself and your family. So, without further ado, here are the top five reasons that people should consider the ODBRANA self defense system for home and street protection. Number 1: People of all ages and fitness levels can learn the tactical training system Whether large or small, there is an opportunity to increase your fighting ability using this system. Small children are capable of becoming well versed in it and will improve their physical and mental abilities as well. This is good for preventing bullying and enabling children to defend themselves from attacks. Even elderly people are capable of learning these steps and improving their defensive prowess. Number 2: The program was created by a man with a large amount of tactical defense experience Vladimir Djordjevic is a man who has extensive experience in the realm of martial arts. He has spent years in the Serbian military and police force, was head of the security team for the embassy of the Netherlands in the early 1990s, and has been placed in the U.S. martial arts hall of fame five times. There are few other instructors with anywhere near the amount of experience that is possessed by Mr. Djordjevic. Number 3: It has been proven to be effective Numerous police forces around the world have utilized this program for defense training. Those who have used it became very proficient at defending themselves and taking down opponents. It is a practical system that enables students to effectively disarm and defeat their assailants without using any weapons of their own. Number 4: There are class variations for every different need Each person has a different age, physical make up, and learning style. As a result of this, there are many different classes that are available in order to provide for these needs. The elementary school students will obviously have different needs than law enforcement officers, so it makes sense to customize the program for each individual group. Number 5: ODBRANA is intended for everyday use Some martial arts styles are simply meant for more specialized and deadly purposes. Krav Maga for example is focused on killing the opponent as quickly and efficiently as humanly possible. This system, while effective, can be used to take down opponents in a non-lethal manner. Whether you are just walking down the street and someone jumps you, or you have a fight with another person you know, this system can be used to end the fight without ending a life. However, for more serious uses such as law enforcement, lethal techniques can be discussed. We hope you enjoyed this article and look forward to seeing you have a safe and happy 2014!

Little Tigers

The Top Five Reasons Parents Should Consider Enrolling Their Children in an ODBRANA Little Tigers Self Defense Class Nowadays, many parents take an approach to childhood bullying that kids should use their words and not their fists to solve problems. However, some problem such as gang violence and severe bullying cannot be solved by talking and trying to make up. Children often live in a world that is just as dangerous if not more dangerous than adults, and it is wise as a parent to try and prepare your child for the harsher realities of life. The ODBRANA "Little Tigers" program is not meant to incite children toward violence against others but to teach them discipline and the ability to deal with their own problems in life. This article has been written to address the reasons why children should learn martial arts training and some of the benefits that can come out in childhood behavior as a result of this training. So, to help both parents and kids improve their lives together, here are the top five reasons parents should consider enrolling their children in an ODBRANA "Little Tigers" self defense class. Number 1: Children's personalities will improve Children often need to feel accomplished at something in their lives in order to be truly happy. If they are lacking an activity where they can progress in a measurable manner, then they will likely be unhappy and feel purposeless a lot of the time. Sometimes all it takes to put a kid on the right path is to put them in the right direction. Number 2: They will learn group work and the ability to connect with others to achieve goals When they take an ODBRANA class, children will learn to work with others in learning the techniques of martial arts and to practice with other children. Individual activities such as video games and TV do not provide this level of stimulus and will cause them to be worse at socializing with other children their age. Through this class, teamwork is learned and kids will better understand how to accomplish large goals together. Number 3: Positive moral lessons are imparted Positive character traits such as honesty, integrity, and discipline will be taught to your children by the instructor. Few other after school activities will build the moral foundation of a child in the same way. The values that are being taught do not conflict with any religious belief systems or contradict the word of parents. These are universal moral principles that all people around the world share. Number 4: It will keep them away from bad influences such as drugs and gangs The less time your child spends around those who try to influence them in a bad way, the less trouble they will get into. Drugs, gangs, and bullying are largely problems that occur with other kids in school and in neighborhoods. If your child both spends less time with bad influencers and learns to defend himself from bullying, he will feel much less need to get into trouble. Number 5: Their grades and overall educational performance will be better Discipline in one area of life tends to spill over into other areas of life as well. The better and more disciplined a child is at learning ODBRANA, the more likely they will be to do well in school. Homework assignments will be completed much more thoroughly, and additional thought will be given to the future by the child. We hope you enjoyed this article and look forward to seeing you have a great time watching your kid grow up strong with ODBRANA training!

Sensible training shoes and comfortable training gear. It is advisable to layer up in colder weather. (Although the exercise keeps you from feeling the cold). • What do I need to bring? Just yourself. We supply water and our instructors take a back pack to carry safety equipment and any car keys • Do you exercise in all weathers? We train in all weathers. Our classes are always different this makes them more fun. Different weathers just add different dimensions to the classes making them more challenging and enjoyable. • Will I get wet and muddy? Sometimes you will get wet and a little muddy but the classes are always fun and enjoyable. Also you will be concentrating on your exercise and won’t actually notice or mind the rain. After being indoors all day just being outdoors in the fresh air is refreshing whatever the weather. • Is it too dark to exercise in the winter months? Your safety and well being is of our up most concern. Safety assessments are carried out before and during every class. Most of our venues are fully lit so training at night is not a problem.

You will definitely improve your fitness and get that “endorphin” rush that as a gym member you will already love. • I’ve seen boot camps on TV where the instructors shout at and bully the people exercising what if I can’t do the exercises? Our instructors do not shout and bully people. They will encourage a sense of urgency and motivate you to reach your goal. Everybody trains together, however there are different levels in each class denoted by what colour bib you wear, there are always low impact alternatives to every exercise we do. Your instructor will demonstrate and complete a “walk through talk through” of all exercises asked of you. • Why train outdoors? There is strong evidence that exercise and fresh air increases both physical and mental well being. We offer a flexible and constructive exercise programme that takes advantage of the fresh air and natural terrain. This means no two classes are the same and you get fit whilst escaping from being indoors all day. • Will I get fit and lose weight/tone up?
