MODELLING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN SELF-DEFENCE TRAINING: AN EXTREMOCENTRIC APPROACH

The article reveals the theoretical foundations and practical features of the extremocentric approach to self-defence training based on the principles of Ukrainian Extremology. The role of modelling dangerous situations as a key tool for the formation of psychological stability, cognitive flexibility and effective self-defence skills is analysed. Examples of the implementation of the extremocentric methodology in the system of training of citizens in the Ukrainian Self-Defence Federation “SRUB” are given. It is emphasised that the extremocentric approach ensures comprehensive preparation of a person for rational and safe actions in real-life threats, which is confirmed by the results of the assessment of the effectiveness of actions. The obtained data substantiate the prospects for widespread implementation of extremocentric programmes in the field of personal and public security.
