Fitness levels

You do not have to be extremely fit or have any kind of self-defence or martial arts background.

What practical self-defence will you learn?

Using specific teaching methods, combined with theory skills training, you will learn practical self-defence techniques in just 6 weeks, which you can call upon at a moment’s notice without having to try and recall complicated techniques. The course is perfect for people who want to learn lawful, practical self-defence but do not want to commit to a long-term martial arts programme.

The Importance of Learning Self-Defence

Whether it’s for personal development, increased confidence, or job requirements, learning self-defence can be a life-changing decision. It's a skill that can help you feel empowered, and secure, and give you the ability to protect yourself in unexpected or dangerous situations.

Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem

One of the primary reasons people learn self-defence is to increase their self-confidence and self-esteem. Learning to protect oneself builds a sense of security in social situations, which translates into greater self-esteem and confidence. Knowing that you have the skills to handle and avoid potentially harmful situations instils a sense of power both physically and emotionally.

Job Requirements

Many occupations require specific skills and training in self-defence. However, some jobs may require these skills but do not provide training to their staff. These jobs could include teachers, social workers, healthcare workers, and more. These courses provide the necessary skills and confidence needed to perform job duties safely, calmly, effectively and legally.
