Lesson 02 · Foundation

Injury risks and responsibility

Protect the head, neck, chest and joints in training, recognise warning signs after contact and obtain help early.

Practise only with agreed roles, suitable protective equipment and a stop signal that ends all movement immediately. The objective is to interrupt danger and leave, never to prolong a confrontation.

01

Controlled training sequence

Learn the movement slowly before adding speed, resistance or noise.

1. Set protected areas

Check the position, surroundings and agreed target before contact.

2. Agree the contact level

Protect the head, neck, chest and joints in training, recognise warning signs after contact and obtain help early.

3. Stop after warning signs

Use only the agreed pad or cooperative grip. Stop immediately after pain, dizziness, loss of control or the stop signal.

4. Arrange aftercare

Release contact, move to the marked exit and finish the drill.

Required

  • Qualified supervision for partner and restricted practice
  • Agreed roles, intensity and stop signal
  • Suitable pads, mats and protective equipment
  • Immediate release when the exit opens

Avoid

  • Surprise attacks or unagreed resistance
  • Unprotected contact to head, neck, spine or joints
  • Continuing after pain or loss of control
  • Presenting one sequence as a guaranteed solution
Takeaway

Practise the agreed movement under control, release contact and use the exit.
