Skills that last

Confidence.

Confidence is key to effective self defence. Develop self-assurance through consistent practice and mastery of techniques.

Awareness.

Prevention is the first line of defence. Become more aware of your surroundings, and how to avoid and de-escalate situations.

Resilience.

Our program covers the mental aspects of self defence, helping you to stay calm, think clearly and act effectively under pressure.
