| Description | Background and Study Aim. Special Education of Security Bodies (SESB) is a unique study programme at Masaryk University in Brno. The aim of this paper is the knowledge about theoretical background for self-defence competency , which is one of the learning outcomes in SESB. Material and Methods. The methods of content analysis, learning objectives analysis, external evaluation and exploration were used for this study. External evaluation was done by both graduates and employers of graduates. Information are reported in Evaluation and Self-evaluation reports. Results. Although there are many approaches to reality-based self-defence, the starting-point in SESB is in moral values of martial arts and combat sports. Self-defence is incorporated into a broader idea of self-protection and it is understood as a part of education in security bodies. Extensive research in graduate students shows a high ratio of employment in the area of security , and confirms that moral values of martial arts and combat sports can have a considerable impact on self-defence in security bodies. Conclusion. The theoretical background in SESB comes from taxonomy of combatives, cycle of conflict and educational principles of martial arts. Although there are many approaches to reality-based self-defence the starting-point in SESB is in moral values of martial arts and combat sports. Self-defence is incorporated into a broader idea of self-protection and it is understood as a part of education in security bodies. Extensive research in graduate students shows a high ratio of employment in the area of security and confirms that moral values of martial arts and combat sports can have a considerable impact on self-defence in security bodies. |
