About
Acute and chronic stress can impair your problem-solving abilities, causing you to make poor decisions that could lead to dangerous situations. Since we actively handle firearms, our responsibility is directly proportional to the consequences if an accident occurs. Hunting is generally a relaxing activity, though it can sometimes involve some tension. However, if you bring pressure and stress from home or work out into the field, it can all become too much. This increases the likelihood of wounding game, but also the risk of an accident in which you or someone else could be injured. That is why De Vechtschool offers stress management training for hunters.
Stress Management Training for Hunters
This training not only helps you stay calm and composed under stress in the field, but also in your daily life. In addition to gaining background knowledge about stress, you’ll learn practical skills to reduce and manage both acute and chronic stress. Through situational and self-reflection, you’ll strengthen your situational awareness and self-awareness. This makes you more receptive to the right cues and less prone to being thrown off by distracting cues. Safety procedures, such as unloading your gun, become a stress-resistant habit that you perform even when you’re momentarily distracted.

The Martial Arts School offers training in personal safety and self-defense.
The problem-solving capabilities of authentic martial arts are fantastic. And it has to be that way, because when you’re attacked with a sword, you have a fraction of a second to observe what’s happening, assess your options, decide what to do, and finally act. Inefficient action is deadly in this situation.
These martial arts principles can therefore be easily applied to modern life, where conflicts and problems are—fortunately—usually less deadly, but can quickly stand in the way of achieving your goals and increase the risk of mishaps. Taking into account important constraints such as Dutch law and your own values and standards, you will learn to apply these principles when resolving problems and conflicts in your own life so that you can achieve your goals more successfully.
