Learn faster with your own instructor

Private classes give you the instructor’s full attention, so the training is shaped around your goals, fitness and pace. You can ask questions, practise without pressure and progress far faster than in a big group.

We teach adults and children, one-to-one or with friends and family. All our instructors are highly trained, DBS checked and fully insured.

“We booked two private sessions for our family of 5. Our instructor Ethan was great! He is very knowledgeable and patient and made sure we really understood the different moves and techniques and were able to execute them confidently.”

“I received 1-to-1 instruction on self defence from Samuel in my local public garden. He is a fabulous instructor and made the class fun and practical. I’m 65 years old and really enjoyed the hour that just flew past. Highly recommended.”

“After my son was mugged twice we decided to do a session with London Self Defence and we had a fantastic time with Sam, who was super knowledgable and gave my son some great advice, smart moves and this has greatly helped build up his confidence again.”
