In today’s society, personal safety is more important than ever. Recent tragic events, such as the Sarah Everard case, the Huntingdon train robbery, and the Bull Ring stabbing, highlight the urgent need for women to empower themselves through self-defence training. We are offering a Women’s Only Self-Defence Course designed to equip women with essential skills for self-protection and confidence.
Why Self-Defence Matters
Every day, women face situations that require awareness, confidence, and readiness to act. Many people may respond to high-profile incidents with immediate inquiries about self-defence courses, but unfortunately, this interest often doesn’t translate into actual participation. This lack of prioritisation is concerning. Self-defence is not just a skill, it's a vital life skill that can help you navigate an uncertain world.
Our upcoming course on 7th December delivers practical and effective training in a supportive environment. You’ll learn essential techniques tailored for real-world situations and instil a mindset that promotes awareness and safety.
In light of the recent, shocking events in Birmingham and Huntingdon, it has never been more important to prioritise safety and well-being. Self-defence is not just a skill; it's a vital mindset that empowers people to face today’s uncertainties with confidence.
We are running our last intensive one-day self-defence course for 2025 in December. It is designed specifically for women to learn essential skills to protect yourself in today’s world, where safety is paramount.
I see many posts on social media in my area asking where to go for self-defence training. From this you get a lot of people giving their opinion and what is often suggested is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) . However I feel that this advice respectfully is coming from people with little or no expertise or experience of physical altercations and violence!!
BJJ and Judo are both highly respected combative sports that emphasise grappling and ground techniques. While they are excellent for sport, competition and fitness, there are several reasons why they are not effective systems for self-defence in real-world scenarios.
Learning to have safety awareness in your daily life and the life skills of being able to defend yourself in todays society is essential.
We are pleased to announce that with the C-19 restrictions coming to a close on the 19th July that we are able to start running our Women’s only Self-defence courses again.
These one day courses run from 10am to 5pm on a Saturday and are aimed to empower women in their daily lives by building self-confidence and imparting knowledge and easy to remember and apply self-defence techniques if they are called to do so.
