Yes, I teach self-protection as a separate service from my martial arts coaching. It is delivered through private lessons, workshops, and seminars, with every programme tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the client.Self-protection is not a martial art, a tradition, a sport, or a fighting system. It is a practical method for the legal prevention, avoidance, and management of interpersonal violence.My self-protection training is divided into two complementary areas: personal security and self-defence.Personal security is the foundation and the most important aspect of training. It focuses on developing the mindset, knowledge, and skills needed to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of violence. This includes personal responsibility and agency, situational awareness, fear management, recognising pre-incident indicators of predatory violence, and using communication and de-escalation strategies to manage social violence. It also covers the aftermath of a violent or near-violent encounter, including managing stress, seeking appropriate support, reporting incidents, and understanding the relevant legal considerations.Self-defence focuses on the physical response when violence cannot be avoided. Rather than relying on fixed techniques, it is based on adaptable principles that allow an individual to respond effectively to the realities of the situation. The tactics and strategies taught are scalable, legally justifiable, and informed by the individual's capabilities, the environment, and the nature of the threat, with the objective of stopping the assault and creating an opportunity to escape to safety.
Private lessons are built around you: your goals, your pace, and your current level. Seminars are group sessions for organisations or larger parties, with the topic and format shaped for the group. If you want focused coaching, private lessons are the better fit. If you need a broader session, a seminar makes more sense.
You can train online with us, and the coaching is still tailored to you. It works well if you want to keep progressing from home, fit training around a busy schedule, or stay connected between in-person sessions. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, the sessions are shaped around your goals and level.
Your price depends on the format you choose. A standard 10-lesson course of 1 hour per lesson costs £350 for one person, £550 for two people, or £20 per person per hour for groups of 3 to 6. If you want 10 lessons at 1.5 hours each, that costs £450. Off-site training within 25 miles has an extra travel fee, and one-off lessons are available too. Contact me and I’ll give you the right quote for your setup.
