Rules of Engagement

Civilian Seminar Series

Rules of Engagement is a definitive guide to the world of self-defence law. Designed by professionals with the benefit of years of frontline policing, security and instructing experience, this course will give you the knowledge and understanding to protect yourself legally, just as your physical self-defence training protects you against physical harm.

This course is suitable for civilians, martial artists and self-defence students who want to gain a functional, real-world understanding of the legal process and the law surrounding self-defence.

As a serving police officer, I found it very useful... explains the nature of real-life violence and how to use force in a lawful way to protect yourself when confronted with violence.

This gives my students the kind of legal preparation they deserve to have. Now I've done this course I can't imagine training or instructing without it. We teach violent technique, at the end of the day, and there has to be an understanding that goes with that in terms of the law and what's right or wrong.

Good self-defence training will help you to defend yourself physically during a violent assault, but...

What happens in legal terms after the incident is over?

How will investigators approach the incident, and how will your words and actions impact that investigation?

Were your actions legal and justifiable in the eyes of the police and courts? Were they moral?

How will you justify what you have done if you are arrested and interviewed under caution?

What can you expect to happen after you have used force in self-defence?

Our Rules of Engagement Course will teach you to...

Understand the Law

Rules of Engagement will give you a professional understanding of the law surrounding use of force in self-defence. We explain what the often touted concepts of reasonable, proportionate and necessary actually mean to investigators and the courts, how legal decisions are made, and what you can and can’t do, in a legal sense.

Make Better Decisions

We break down use-of-force justification so that you can make better moral and tactical decisions and understand the reasoning, both tactical and legal, for making these decisions.

We inform the decision-making process so that you can act with less doubt or hesitation, confident that the law is on your side when you act in self-defence.

Evidence Your Actions

We walk you through the investigatory procedure from the point of view of a professional investigator, helping you to understand how to evidence and justify the actions you took to defend yourself or others in the face of a violent assault. By understanding these processes, we remove the mystery and guesswork that has so often surrounded self-defence law.
