During week 5 the College held a grappling self defense seminar for Year 9 and 10 students focusing on ground-work and damage avoidance with Siraj Soufi from Complete MMA in Derrimut. The students were shown Brazilian jiu jitsu techniques which they practiced together in groups of 2 while being coached by Mr Soufi.
An incredibly engaging incursion both mentally and physically, the students came away from these sessions with a basic understanding of how to approach a physical confrontation should one arise and the confidence to apply effective techniques if they were ever caught in a bad situation.
These sessions will continue over weeks 6 and 7 to allow students to further comprehend and develop these valuable skills.
