self defence for beginners - LEARN THE BASICS IN AN HOUR
Self defence for beginners - start here! Self Defence Essentials is our online self defence course for people of any gender aged 13 and above (with parental guidance).
If you want a quick and affordable introduction to self defence, this course is ideal.
Don’t mistake martial arts, Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu or Kickboxing for self defence! It takes years of dedication to become a martial artist and even then it’s not the best form of self defence.
We don’t teach any martial arts, kicking or punching - what we teach is simple and effective for everyone.
You can learn the basics of self defence in under an hour and come away safer and more confident in your ability to keep yourself safer.
Avoid the trauma of an attack or abuse by empowering yourself with this essential life skill.

It is often the little things that make a difference and in being aware and switched on to your surroundings you can avoid dangerous situations.

There’s no kicking, no punching, no martial arts, no complicated moves - just effective techniques that are taught to special forces that work in the real world.
