We organized self-defense courses in Akeso Holding hospitals

3. 3. 2020

One of the widespread myths about self-defense is that a woman can never resist a man and if she does, it is only with years of training. In our medical facilities we decided to provide employees with a self-defence course under the supervision of a lecturer and the only Krav Maga - KAPAP Master in the Czech Republic Ing. Michal Janoušek.

"Dozens of women have gone through the self-defense course and would certainly say that self-defense is basically very simple. If done smartly and correctly. It is always about preparedness and the element of surprise," said Michal Janoušek.

Krav Maga is the most effective self-defence system in the world and that is why we have prepared a basic course for our employees. The courses are held at the Rehabilitation Hospital Beroun, the Hořovice Hospital and Multiscan Pardubice. During the three-hour training sessions, which take place during the month of March, 90 colleagues will learn about basic prevention of assault. They will also learn how to behave and react in the event of an attack. The typology of aggressors, the phases of a real attack and simple principles of self-defence are also briefly described. The whole course is also designed into a practical class, where participants can immediately try out the recommended procedures on each other. Not only the physique of each participant is affected, but also the psyche. "The realisation that we can meet an aggressor anywhere and at the same time whether we are able to cope with a crisis situation where seconds make the difference was challenging," said Gábina Žáková from the Hořovice Hospital after the course.

And how did you like the course?
"Thank you very much for the self-defence course. It was fun and informative. Just SUPER," responded cardiology nurse Ludmila Sládková.
"We were thrilled with the course, but we would really appreciate it if it was repeated!" Bára and Aneta, the receptionists of the Rehabilitation Centre, supported the positive impression of the course.
