“Just to say that I thought the self defence classes were brilliant, they should be compulsory for every school. I firmly believe that every child should be equipped with the sort of knowledge that your course gives. Obviously, I brought my own two daughters , one of their friends and my friend, who enjoyed the course. I hope that you continue these courses and hope your business goes from strength to strength which I think it richly deserves!!”

Join the Academy Self Defence training and you will:

* Greatly improve your fitness, strength and mobility
* Gain an insight into the psychology of interpersonal conflict and violence
* Learn practical, streetwise self defence skills that can be used under pressure
* Increase your general awareness and feel safer
* Understand the legal context of self defence
* Feel your confidence grow with each session

Our self defence training is rooted in the real world and students find the training practical, enjoyable and adaptable to their own needs and limits. We do not use fear as a motivator in our training, whilst we recognise that sometimes the world is a dangerous place, in most of our everyday lives we do not meet conflict that often. However, conflict can arise uninvited in our lives and those who train with the Academy will be better equipped if and when it arrives at their door. An old Chinese proverb states “train an army for a thousand years to fight only one day”, whilst we all hope that the ‘one day’ never arrives any read of the papers will tell us that for too many people it does and sadly many people get hurt as the lack the skills and knowledge to deal with unwanted violence.

At the Academy everyone works at their pace, (this is not a boot camp), using a mixture of traditional and innovative training methods. This is not a martial art, there are no belts or uniforms, no expensive exams or membership fees. You pay for the training you get, that’s it, no hidden costs. The curriculum draws on effective techniques from a range of martial arts and fighting techniques to provide students with the best of the best. Most of all the training is fun, we always make the sessions enjoyable and working out with like minded individuals in a friendly atmosphere really gets those endomorphines flowing.

What we teach works, and we always have a lot of fun during the training, here are some comments from women who have trainid with us recently: “A truly fantastic course, really enjoyed the kicking, would love to do more self defence. Really enjoyed it, can’t wait for next course” – “Thank you for the last few weeks training. I feel like I’ve learned lots of basic skills that I could use if needed to. It’s been fun and I’ve really enjoyed it!” – “Very practical and fun sessions”
