Core Program3 - Self Defence

Self Defence Programs for Secondary School Years 9 to 10 students

Our Self Defence program incorporates a range of fundamental motor skill development in the areas of karate and martial arts.

A key component of any successful PE program is respectful relationships and interpersonal skills. Our Self Defence and Respectful Relationships workshops are designed around protection skills, safe and unsafe behaviours.

Proactivity Self Defence Programs align with the Victorian Curriculum.

Melbourne Grammar School

Wonderful activities and students said “this was the best day of the holiday program yet!”

Bialik College

The Holiday Clinic was great and all the children enjoyed it very much. We were most impressed with the fact that the children were totally absorbed for the whole time, after which they told us that it was the best day ever!

Program Supervisor

I highly recommend Proactivity for anyone looking for an active, exciting and varied sports program. I have had the team come out to run clinics on many occasions, and have always been extremely impressed with their clinics. All the staff are highly skilled in their field and they present in a professional manner. Their enthusiasm and sense of fun are contagious!

East Doncaster Secondary College

From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and flexible and that rolled into a well organised and successful program at our school. The students were engaged and thoroughly enjoyed their experience. We look forward to continuing our relationship in the coming years.

Emmaus College

Mick was outstanding, great skills in delivery and fun. The students were engaged and motivated. He catered for their needs perfectly. He covered exactly what was in the brief and the VCAL students have gained some valuable skills.
