You train hard. You’ve honed your reflexes, mastered your technique, and built the confidence that comes from knowing you can protect yourself and your loved ones. At JKD Legacy, we believe in being prepared.
But what happens after you throw the punch, block the knife, or disarm an attacker?
In a moment of pure adrenaline and terror, a home invasion, a road rage incident, or a sudden public attack, knowing how to defend yourself is only half the battle. The other half? Knowing the legal line between being a defender and becoming a defendant.
We are thrilled to invite you, and your family members, to a groundbreaking educational session for the JKD Legacy community:
This is not only a physical training session. This is a critical briefing on the Australian and Victorian legal framework for self-defence. It’s about arming your mind with the same precision we train your body.
In this session, we will demystify the legalities of physical confrontation, covering scenarios like:
The Home Invasion: When does "defence of property" become "excessive force"? What are your rights inside your own home?
Road Rage Escalation: How do you legally disengage or defend yourself when confronted by an aggressive driver?
Public Attacks & The "Bondi Beach" Scenario: The tragic events two years ago left us all asking: "What would I do?" We'll break down the legal principles of defending yourself and others in a public space against an armed assailant.
The Aftermath: What do you say to the police? What are your immediate legal obligations and rights?
Led by legal professional Ennes Marcellus Criminal Lawyer, and Founder of Marcellus Law, this session will give you clear, actionable answers to the questions every responsible martial artist must ask:
What is the legal definition of "reasonable force" in Victoria?
When does self-defence legally begin and, just as importantly, when must it end?
What is your duty to retreat?
How do the courts view pre-emptive strikes?
