WHAT IS WOMEN’s SELF DEFENCE?

In teaching self defence to thousands of women, we’ve listened to your concerns and learnt that:

1. Many of you have experienced sexual assault, a robbery, sexual harassment or have had a ‘near miss’

2. You often feel scared when out at night on your own

3. You can feel fearful for the safety of children and loved ones

4. You’re unsure whether you could fight back or have the strength to defend yourself.

Does this sound familiar?

Yes?

Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be like that.

Our online self defence class, Self Defence for Women, takes you from a place of fear to confidence and empowerment.

We’ll show you the simple self defence moves you need to protect yourself - and explain how to avoid becoming a target in the first place.

“The essential training all girls and women need to enable confidence that they have the methods to protect themselves if they’re ever in a situation where control is taken from them.”

Ms C.R.

EXPERT SELF DEFENCE INSTRUCTOR

Dene Josham is your instructor for our women’s self defence course.

Dene has 30 years’ security experience, including:

• 15 years as A-list bodyguard to celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Russell Crowe

• Time in The Royal Marines

• Providing private security in countries such as Libya, Iraq and Nigeria.

Dene understands what violence looks like in the real world and shares his knowledge of what self defence techniques really work.

IS SELF DEFENCE FOR WOMEN MARTIAL ARTS?

If you’ve tried kickboxing, Krav Maga, boxing, jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA or other types of martial arts and came away feeling even more fearful, don’t worry!

The self defence moves that we teach are empowering, inclusive and suitable for people of all abilities.

We don’t teach any martial arts, kicking or punching.

Just simple and effective self defence techniques that work for real women in the real world.

IS THIS COURSE FOR ME?

This women’s self defence class is for you if:

1. You want to learn simple and effective self defence techniques that anyone of any ability can use

2. You want to know how to de-escalate dangerous or potentially violent situations

3. You want to avoid threats and keep yourself and your family safe

4. You want to learn from the comfort of your own home at a time and pace that suits you.

“This is possibly the best thought out and comprehensive self defence course I have come across. Dene and his team are professional, hugely knowledgable, respectful, open and honest whilst at the same time being informative and clear on their content.

INVEST IN YOUR well-being - you are worth it

Our view is that self defence is defence of the body and the mind. And that is what you’ll learn on our online course!

We have taught thousands of women’s self defence classes and the word we always hear afterwards is “EMPOWERED”.

The aim of Self Defence for Women is to instil in you the firm belief that you are worth protecting and to provide the skills and knowledge to do just that.

3. The content will be available for the lifetime of the female self defence course.

4 hours of video content

1. Content is broken down into bite-size chunks on different topics so you can watch a bit at a time. Ideal for fitting it in around your lifestyle and responsibilities.

2. The course starts by understanding attackers and the reality of violence.

3. It moves on to understanding human behaviour and your body.

4. After that we look at how to become a ‘hard target’ and avoid danger.

5. Then finally we demonstrate the physical techniques in depth.

6. The aim is that, with the knowledge we share, you should never need to use a physical response. But if you do, then you will have a simple but effective technique to rely on.

Below is a screenshot from inside the women’s self defence course so you can see what it looks like. You can choose what to watch from the menu on the left and you will see how long each video is in brackets after the section title.

Created with women for women

1. Many female self defence classes are created by men with martial arts or military backgrounds. This can make you question whether what they are teaching would work for you in real-life.

2. Ours has been created by a partnership between Dene and Josham (Streetwise Defence instructor) and Julie Waite (a real woman and mum, with no experience of martial arts).

3. Julie’s input and shaping of the course means that all content is easy to understand, easy to apply and easy to remember.

4. The physical techniques are suitable for people of all abilities, ages and fitness levels.

5. You’ll even see Julie demonstrating the physical techniques. When you watch them, remember that she has no experience in martial arts and is trying them for the first time. Just like you will be.

6. We hope that this input and realism will help you believe and know that you can do it too!

Watch with a friend

1. We know that times are tight financially and we have tried to keep our course affordable. However, if you want to watch it with a friend and split the cost, we’re happy with that!

2. The added benefit of watching together with a friend or family member is that you can discuss each section and what comes up for you.

3. Sadly, most women have experienced an attack, assault or stalking and most incidents go unreported. Talking about what happened to you is an important part of healing and we give lots of links to support, if you choose to access them.

4. Another benefit of watching with a friend is that you can practice the physical responses - slowly and carefully.

Watch with your family

1. You can show this course (or parts of it) to children aged over 13 at your own discretion and guidance.

2. We recommend that you watch it first and decide what is appropriate for your child’s age and stage of development.

3. We are developing online self defence classes for teenage girls and boys but these aren’t ready yet.

4. Want a self defence class in your child’s school? Recommend us to your child’s school.

Self Defence for Women is aimed at females (or anyone identifying as female) aged 13+, however, people of any gender can watch it.

We have a separate online self defence course for men and we are developing courses for people in the LGBTQ+ community, which will come later.

WHY CHOOSE US?

Background

Dene has over 20 years of experience in the security industry, including bodyguarding celebrities and CEOs and providing security in some of the world’s most dangerous countries. He knows about real-world violence and what actually works.

Experience

We have taught women’s self defence to thousands of people across the UK and internationally. We regularly go into schools, universities, businesses and community groups to teach personal safety, violence de-escalation and self defence.

No martial arts

Many women tell us they’ve tried martial arts such as kickboxing, Krav Maga, boxing, jiu jitsu and Muay Thai but came away feeling despondent.

Here’s the thing - to become a skilled martial artist takes years of practice and dedication. So, anyone suggesting that a few hours learning martial arts is effective as self defence for women is misguided.

We know what works for real women in the real world. And that’s why we don’t teach martial arts, punching or kicking. Our physical techniques are suitable for anyone of any ability. They are easy to remember and highly effective.

Trauma-informed

We understand. We are a trauma-informed company. This means we understand how you may be affected by this sensitive subject. We provide advice and trigger warnings throughout the course content, as well as links to professional support.

“It was well worth the money! I did this with my daughter and I know with what she has seen she is impressed and wants to return to it to learn more.”
