LEVEL 2 IN CONFLICT MANAGEMENT (RQF)
26th - 27th Oct 2026..

Self-Defence is a complicated subject.

Most martial arts classes only focus their lessons around the physical side and combat.

We feel this is wrong.

Students need to learn more that just techniques.

Self-Defence instructors should cover:

- situational awareness,
- conflict management,
- the law
- post incident responsibilities.

With that in mind, we are running a course in conflict management.

Our Level 2 Conflict Management course equips learners with real-world skills to manage challenging situations with confidence.

Suitable for anyone 16+, working in:

βœ” Customer-facing roles
βœ” Public interaction
βœ” Workplace conflict

First Aid training in Inverness with GSG Training

🚨 WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE COLLAPSED IN CARDIAC ARREST?

A recent UK survey found that almost 55% of adults would feel reluctant to use a defibrillator, because they don't believe they have the knowledge or skills to use one.*

But here's the good news…

❀️ You don't need to be a medical professional to use a defibrillator.

Modern AEDs are designed to be simple, safe and easy to use, providing clear step-by-step instructions. And if you call 999, the emergency call handler can guide you through the process.

⏱️ Every second matters.

Early CPR and defibrillation can significantly improve the chances of survival following a cardiac arrest. Knowing what to do, and having the confidence to step forward, could make all the difference.

Yesterday we took a short road trip to Durham, for a seminar with Alan Craig and his students.

The seminar was hosted to raise funds for his SEND charity, but for us it was a great excuse to spend a few hours with old friends.

We want to thank Alan and his students for their hospitality and the opportunity to meet a real life karate "OG".

Also good to see Craig Mackay back at seminars, still bouncing well after all these years.

For those that missed it, you missed a family friendly event with no politics and even less egos.

Watch this space for details of the next one..
