Self Defence TRAINING for COMMUNITY YOUTH GROUPS & SPORTS CLUBS
Helping young people to learn essential life skills and having fun shared experiences together are important elements of a successful community group or sports club.
Providing a self defence class for the teenagers and young adults in your community group is one way of doing just that. It will help to keep them safe and switched on to the environment around them.
Our self defence sessions are empowering, enjoyable and give young people valuable real-world education.
Training at Leeds Conservatoire.
“We teach young people that they are worthy of being safe and looking after themselves. No one has the right to hurt you, either emotionally or physically.”
Dene Josham, Streetwise Defence
“This was an excellent session which introduced our girls’ group to the ideas behind self defence. The session leader was very sensitive to the group members as some of them were quite timid to begin with. I think they learned a lot about how to avoid dangerous situations and keep themselves safe in a variety of situations. Highly recommended.”
Ms J. Maxwell, Health For All
YOUTH & COMMUNITY GROUP CLIENTS
Here are some youth-led and community groups we have trained in personal safety and self defence.
We have trained mixed groups of children, teenagers and adults so that the community learns together and shares the experience.
“Amazing violence prevention session with Streetwise Defence. We cannot recommend this enough.
Dene was great and provided our group with a great set of skills and knowledge to keep themselves safe. Such vital skills for all these young women and ladies.”
Jennifer Lyons, 1st Croft Rangers

Dene with the team at Airplay Youth Support
“We had a day with Dene from Streetwise Defence for our youth club in August. Dene was absolutely fantastic and really engaged with our youth of all ages. Our young people learnt so much in that day and all left feeling more confident about looking after themselves. Would highly recommend.”
Victoria Coley, Airplay Youth Support
“Just to say thank you for an amazing night.
For some of us to sit for two hours just proves how much we were all interested and how well you held our attention. Honestly that never ever has happened with this group. So that on its own speaks volumes.
I can't wait for our next Challengers plus meeting, I'm sure we will see a change and that everyone's confidence has grown. We are going to keep this door open and make it a topic we keep alive in our home and at Challengers plus.
I could of listened all night and I'm sure everyone else in the room felt the same. Your knowledge and how you dealt with all the questions was amazing and so professional. We have all learnt so so much in such a short time that will be easy to remember and put into practice.
I can't express my thanks enough you have taught us life changing skills. I feel ready for the day and empowered to take on whatever comes my way and I know we will have a group of teenagers waking up this morning feeling exactly the same.”
Joanne, Challengers Plus
