SDS-Concept- Self Defence with objects
It all started with the question " How can I teach people to defend themselves effectively against strong attackers without too much complicated training?" As weapons may not be always available or useful, there has been the need to use whatever objects are there.
The SDS-Concept should be easy to teach, appropriate in use, should contain de-escalative techniques, be effective, should not harm the person using it and should cover many fields( attack techniques, easy adaptability, tactics, teamwork and special ways of training and teaching) and be available for many people( civilians, Security personnel, women, professional groups under high risk)
Based on experience from security work, pedagogics, psychology, legal work and police work, the SDS- Concept today offers a special education for the use of everyday items for self defense.
All kinds of everyday items are used with their various features, like shape, size, stability, risk of injury, appropriateness and handling taken into account.
The SDS-Concept is all about self defense and self protection and has nothing to do with traditional martial arts or combat sports.
Is a system like the SDS-CONCEPT really necessary?
An unexpected attack, a physically stronger attacker, a large number of attackers or perhaps even worse: an attacker armed with a knife. Unarmed defense in any one of these situations may seem hopeless for most people, as very few people have had the possibility to learn any form of strategic self defense.
Therefore, self defense with the aid of everyday items can strongly improve our chances of survival.
With the S. D. S Concept Peter Weckauf has created a modern and individualistic system of self defense.
His love and passion for martial arts have inspired him to make this concept available to as wide an audience as possible. He is currently teaching various courses and seminars to professional groups, members of the government, and private individuals.
He has been educating instructors as well as leading seminars and workshops about various defence systems and styles for years.
