Lunchtime martial arts

Isle of Man/UK -- An Island life assurer has taken an unusual approach to staff training by adding martial arts to its checklist.

Royal Skandia is organising lunchtime self defence classes for its 380 staff.

The self defence classes are run by a local martial arts and self defence instructor. He said: 'Although the Isle of Man is still relatively safe, violent crime is on the increase. More Manx residents are regularly travelling off island for business, education or on holiday, and they need to be streetwise and able to recognise and avoid potential dangers.'
