Practical safety training your team will actually enjoy

Our classes can be tailored to any private business or public-sector organisation, and to any audience: women, men or mixed groups of all ages and abilities.

Training covers conflict avoidance, fear management and quick-to-learn techniques for the situations people most often face on the street, at work or in private life, including knife awareness. We also teach the legal side of self defence and tactical awareness, so your team can spot potential conflict early and leave before anyone is harmed.

Whether you want a fun team activity or a full training programme, sessions run from a one-hour introduction to an extensive 30-hour advanced course.

“We had an excellent one-hour class on self-defence for women held in our workplace. It was informative, practical, and left me feeling better equipped to defend myself should the unfortunate need arise.”
