Welcome to the Academy of Self Defence, our aim is to deliver high quality, no nonsense self defence training that is of use in the real world that we live in. Too many martial arts try to convince students that their particular style is the best for learning to defend yourself in the street, most often this is simply not true, occassionally it is downright dangerous as it fills their students up with impractical techniques that only work in the dojo with a willing training partner. The street is not like that, criminals do not fight fair and neither should you if you find yourself in a position where physical conflict is unavoidable.

At the Academy of Self Defence we do not use fear as a motivator and we do not teach complicated, fancy moves, our students enjoy their training and learn sound practical skills that will help them to lead safer lives. We hope that you find this website helpful and informative and that you will benefit from your visit.

PS. Below is a picture I took in Mexico of a cute little chap Antonio the Anteater, a NORTHERN TAMANDUA (Tamandua Mexicana) in fact. If you want to know why his picture is on this site then you need to attend one of our introductory modules.
