All our courses are physical but very safe, the only people getting hit are the instructors.

Every day we see in the news crimes against women and children, and the police will never be there when you need them. When it comes to protecting your family the only person you can trust is yourself!

Absolutely the most valuable course my daughter and I have ever done. David was a complete professional and offered loads of practical stay safe advice as well as physical self protection. The self defence tuition is very hands on, and we were both exhausted afterwards but we both felt it was exactly what was needed. To defend yourself effectively you need to understand what it would be like to be restrained and to be able to free yourself from such holds. Fantastic value for money, very reasonably priced for such a valuable service. Both myself and my daughter (aged 19, who is going off backpacking alone for most of 2019) feel so much more empowered after David’s lesson. I wish we had done it years ago. A must for woman and young girls, especially those going travelling. We’ll definitely be back for another refresher lesson in the summer. Thank you!

We cannot rate David highly enough. We have used his services for one to one self defence training and he is amazing. He is incredibly patient and is a very good teacher. We feel that we could not have picked anyone more experienced or better to help our situation. We highly recommend him. We only wish that we had found him a long time ago and it might of avoided the situation we have found ourselves in.
