FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (F.A.Q.)

WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS TRAINING?

Security & Safety are of prime importance of the day. Crime & violence are everyday news. We learn so many things to excel our life; shouldn’t we learn something for safety and protection of such valuable life itself?

FIRST Training courses for Self-Defense and Essential life saving skills & safety measures not only save us from deadly encounters but also protect us from many causes of harassment, life long suffering & disorders. We shouldn’t wait and allow ourselves to be the VICTIM rather we should learn to deal with bullies, defend against armed assailants, car jacking, sexual assaults, knife attacks, street mugging, robbery, car accident etc and learn essential first-aid, CPR, Fire fighting to survive even when our nervous system is likely to freeze up and lose fine motor coordination from from adrenal rush .

Do I have to be physically fit to attend the F.I.R.S.T. program?

Practically the physical fitness is not going to matter for understanding the course but for acquiring further skills and efficiency might demand some. Besides, you do not have to be in a very good shape but if you are in little poor physical condition you may find few parts of the practical sessions somewhat challenging. FIRST course is a human instinct based system that helps one to guide through the principals to trigger the required solution spontaneously and naturally as situation demand, and since most of the matter is described inside the class room the feeling of physical challenge is quite less.

In order to prepare for the LEVEL 2 & #3 Courses, we suggest you to try comfortable walk 3 to 4 miles for some time before joining the course, which may help you to participate in the repetition of physical techniques with right power and speed.

What kind of accessories or clothing should I bring ?

During the FIRST course you should put on comfortable, loose fitting, lightweight, layered clothing and comfortable shoe or a pair of sneakers. The participant should bring their own note books, pen, still camera (if they want), bottled drinking water, towel. No VIDEO camera or Audio recorder, container, bag, any sort of weapons or equipment are allowed in side the class room. Participants should enter the class carrying minimum things, additional thing may be left outside the area.

What facilities are available to students?

We have air-conditioned classroom facilities on site for teaching lecture material. This allows you to learn basic principles in a comfortable climate controlled environment, and do the practical elements of the course in the field. Since you come to learn to defend and survive, the durable conditioning of open-air training help to acquire the realistic experience through adaptations to different situations.

Do I have to get in to combat or wrestle with some one ?

You do not have to do anything you don't want to do. The course actually guides opening the different avenues of your own, therefore the compulsion is not a feature we insist. You do not have to participate in some events which you feel not adaptable by your present situation.

Is this FIRST Courses some how dangerous or risky ?

Safety is an integral part of the FIRST training systems and all the programs are structured with safety as a priority. We believe a cornerstone of the physical discipline is to train safely. The FIRST team had been conducting courses so long very safely with out any injury or incident. However, it must be clearly understood that scenario based effective tactical training demands the element of realism, and thus some times it may involve some manageable risks. For the instructors training this begins with teaching entry level training individual safety responsibilities and continues with the applied form of education of leaders on how to conduct safe training.
