Self-defense
Self-defense in Villach
Self-defense starts long before the first contact: awareness, distance, voice, position. When that is no longer enough, you need technique that works at the shortest range and under pressure. That is exactly the focus at CFC – tactical close combat.

Women's self-defense at CFC is not a separate side program but a fixed part of the teaching. The content addresses typical threat situations, grabs and clinches as well as dealing with differences in size and strength. Anyone who prefers to start in a protected setting gets a suitable entry point in Villach – and moves on into regular training afterwards.
Where the content comes from
Headcoach Erich Ferlesch combines martial arts experience since 1990 with decades of operational security practice in close protection, event and property security. What is taught is what has proven itself in practice: few, robust principles instead of a long list of techniques.
Law and proportionality
Self-defense does not end with technique. Training also covers where self-defense begins in law, where it ends and how to behave after an incident. In Villach that is as much part of the education as the movement itself.
