Senshido Ireland

Specialties

Self Protection Ireland is a mobile Reality Based Self Defence organisation set up by members of the Irish Defence Forces and An Garda Siochana. Our teachings allow our students to move from theory to practical application of skills in all areas and helps create the proper mental blue prints needed to survive a violent confrontation.

SPI provides Seminars, workshops, personal training groups, and private instruction on the holistic nature of personal protection through proactive empowerment. Our training programs can be tailored specifically for you and your organisation’s security needs. All of our programs include the following integral components of effective personal protection built on these four pillars:

1) Avoidance through Awareness and Intuition

2) Tactical De-​Escalation and Communicative Strategies

3) Physical Protective Offence

4) Post-​Event Issues

SPI training is holistic, meaning we cover all aspects of violence from the pre-​contact stages, the interviews and ambushes, the physical retaliation components, to how to properly deal with Gardai, medical services, etc.

Some of the many topics covered in typical training include:

* Dealing with Strong Emotions such as Fear and Anger and their Emotional Inertia

* Criminology and normative criminal behavior

* Developing the proper Survivor’s Mindset

* And so much more

History

Established in 2010.

Senshido is now going through a new direction. The focus now is self-​development using self-​defence training as the vessel. Senshido is no longer just a self-​defence system, but an organisation made up of international instructors who focus on the individual. Empowerment comes from the training, and the development of each individual comes from the care and empathy that a Senshido instructor provides.

Each Senshido instructor has their own strengths. Senshido today, is now going back to its philosophical roots. Since psychology is a major component, The Senshido mindset allows practitioners to adapt it to their lifestyle in whatever they may do. The Senshido methodology is not limited to reality-​based self-​defence and can expand to the worlds of health & fitness, communication, mindset and goal-​setting, sports and recreation, coaching, and much, much more!
