Kung Fu Training for Bailiffs
Enforcement officers in Gaziantep, Turkey are receiving Kung Fu training to defend themselves against violence. The training, which was initially offered to healthcare workers, has now expanded to include bailiffs who work in the risky profession group. A total of 20 enforcement officers, including women, are participating in the training, learning basic techniques of close combat art to protect themselves.
Şeyhmus Çakmak, the Turkish Wushu Kung Fu Federation Provincial Representative and National Team Coach, highlighted the prevalence of violence and outbursts of anger in society, emphasizing the need to provide defense training to professional groups at risk. The goal is to equip individuals in risky occupational groups with the skills to defend themselves in situations of resistance or violence.
Enforcement officers are also recognizing the importance of the training, acknowledging that it will help them protect themselves in the face of potential violent incidents. This initiative aims to create a sporting awareness and raise awareness against violence, seeking to empower individuals in risky professions to safeguard themselves. Through these efforts, the hope is to mitigate the pressure of extreme violence and outbursts of anger in society.
The training reflects a proactive approach to addressing the safety and well-being of enforcement officers, providing them with the tools and knowledge to ensure their own protection. As this program expands, it is expected that defense training will be offered to other risky professional groups, further contributing to the overall safety and resilience of individuals in these occupations.
