Training Testimonials

 

Due to the Q5 course I am more confident, not only in how to deal with a potential attacker but also how to be a hard target. It was easy to share my own story of survival to the group through the safe and comfortable learning environment. This is not your usual self defence course, it is a self survival course that every female needs to take. You wont be disappointed!

The content is brilliant, such wonderful life skills and advice for everyone to incorporate into their everyday lives. Our team found the material so beneficial are still discussing it regularly. Dustin and Paul are wonderful facilitators, from the moment they started speaking they had the entire room captivated. They use gritty real life situations from women we can all identify with and situations that started out as ones we have all been in.
The feedback we had from our team was phenomenal, they were blown away that we as a company cared enough about their personal safety to make such an investment. They appreciated immensely that we invested the time and resource in teaching them to be more aware and protect themselves. For any company considering investing in this training for their team, I strongly recommend it. What an amazing and eye opening course.

I wanted to just say thank you to Dustin and Paul for sharing their knowledge and empowering me to feel confident about defending myself if I ever needed to. I attended the self defense class today and I absolute believe every woman should attend this class - thank you guys.

Definitely worth the money, without doubt, it was a once in a life time course. It gave an assurance that I made the right decision to attend.  I now have the knowledge and skills.  It exceeded my expectations. Ji Seon

I just did the Women's Self Defence & Situational Awareness Course. What an eye opener! It has completely changed the way I view my environment and how I feel capable of handling my own safety. Priceless and empowering. I really recommend doing this. Kirsten

I hadn't realised how many times a day or week I was in situations potentially detrimental to my safety until I attended the Q5 course. Its not about changing your lifestyle but more about how to avoid and deal with situations if they arise...and trust me, I have a new appreciation that they could very well "happen to me" after hearing real life case studies first hand. I recommend this to every woman, in order to tool themselves with the confidence and basic skills ensuring they you don't end up a victim of any circumstance. Imogen

Wow, the credibility of the course leaders can’t be denied.  The day was empowering and invigorating and definitely made me feel confident that I could handle myself in an adverse situation.  I came away from the day feeling very passionate about what Q5 has to offer and will be sharing my newfound knowledge with those around me.

Thanks so much for sending the amazing course notes through and again for the course. I really enjoyed it and wish I could have carried on, as I feel that I just wanted to learn more from you guys which is so great. Calista

I had been thinking about doing a self defence course for a while but never really found one that I thought was worthwhile until I came across Q5. It's a great mix of class room learning and practical self defence. The theory changes your way of thinking and provides you with the knowledge to be aware of the risks around you and the practical moves ensure if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, you'll have the skills to get out if it. I would highly recommend this course, it's a must!  Dustin and Paul really know they're stuff and are great teachers. Daisy

I didn’t realise prior to the workshop that I actually had relatively low situational awareness. The workshop highlighted this to me in my own mind and I am now conscious of being much more aware.  The course was relative from a work perspective but I also liked that it was also very relative to life outside work as well, so we were getting a dual benefit.

I’m going to summarise everything in one word: Fantastic!
The course was a brilliant opportunity to realise that I did already have some form of skill set and it also highlighted key areas where I can make adjustment. I really liked the fact that we were asked to consider situations outside our working environment as this has certainly made me more aware in my personal life as well – I think this was a really good opportunity for staff both professionally and personally.

I was surprised by the course. At first there seemed no revelations for me around red flags and how situations can potentially turn dangerous but the role play showed me exactly how mentally under prepared I was. Especially at work. Anna

Great presentation and not the normal format, no reading material to distract you from the presentation. I cannot think of any improvements. Andrew

It bought home the message that sometimes fades when one gets stuck in a groove of comfort, and life just trickles along. A strong message that I got that it is up to all of us as individuals to be aware of our environment and that we have a right to protect ourselves and not place ourselves in high risk scenarios if it can be avoided.
