Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.

Main themes

The following topics will be covered: 

• Avoiding contact by dodging and parries 
• Movement, positioning and counter and riposte techniques 
• Techniques for disengaging from different types of holds or belts, whether standing or on the ground 
• Learning different types of falls or avoiding them by recovering balance 
• Controlling the aggressor 
• Application in a variety of situations 
• Methodology: differentiation and progression according to age group. 

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

Assess an aggressive situation quickly and correctly (1.1 and 1.2)  Control their emotions (1.2 and 8.2)  React confidently to an aggressive situation (1.2)  Give help and organise help for a person in danger of being attacked (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5)  Set up a self-defence session for different age groups (1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 4.1, 4.2, 8.1, 8.3 and 8.4)  Intervening with peers (1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 8.2)

Content

During this training unit, students learn to avoid contact through dodging and parries, to move and position themselves to counterattack and retaliate, and to free themselves from various holds or grips, both standing and on the ground. They practice different types of falls as well as how to avoid them by regaining balance, controlling the attacker, and applying these techniques in various situations. Special attention is given to methodology, differentiating the content and progression according to age groups.
By the end of the unit, students are able to quickly and accurately assess an assault situation, control their emotions, and respond with confidence. They know how to assist and organize aid for a person in danger, design a self-defense session suitable for different age groups, and intervene with their peers.

Teaching methods

Practical course requiring active participation of the student.

Evaluation methods

Continuous evaluation and final practical evaluation with disciplinary tests to verify the achievement of learning outcomes.
The conditions of the second session test will be identical to the first. The student must represent all the disciplinary tests evaluating the learning outcomes not acquired.

Other information

The evaluation is continuous. Active attendance at classes is therefore mandatory. Any absence must be justified by a medical certificate. If the medical certificate allows it, the student must also be present at the courses.
In the event of unjustified absence from a course (excluding evaluation activity), the final score will be weighted in proportion to the percentage of attendance.
Punctuality: three delays equivalent to an unjustified absence.
Given the specificity of the bachelor's and master's degree and the professional recognition that obtaining the academic degree of the master's degree in Motor Sciences, physical education orientation automatically entails, we inform students enrolled in the bachelor's degree in Motor Sciences, that a presence of less than 60% in the EU LEPHY1105, even for justified medical reasons, will make the evaluation of the EU impossible with the consequence of the impossibility of acquiring the corresponding credits.
Any unjustified absence from an evaluation results in an absence mark from the exam. In case of valid justified absence https://www.uclouvain.be/fr/facultes/fsm/restricted/certificats-medicaux, a catch-up session could be organized if material and human conditions allow it.
This course is strictly reserved for FSM students, its access is not possible for other UCLouvain students.
