Safe, Non-Violent, and Empowering

 

Our school friendly self-defence classes are specifically designed to be non-violent, non-aggressive, and fully appropriate for school environments. Developed in collaboration with education professionals, these sessions prioritise safety, respect, and age-appropriate learning, making them ideal for students of all abilities and backgrounds.

 

Professional self-defence is not martial arts and does not teach how to fight. Our self-defence curriculum has been developed over years of working in schools and focuses on:

​

• Awareness and risk avoidance

• Verbal de-escalation techniques

• Confidence-building through body language and boundary setting

• Safe and simple breakaway strategies

 

All techniques are carefully selected to ensure they do not encourage aggression, but instead show young people how to protect themselves responsibly and respectfully.

 

These sessions align with school safeguarding policies and can be integrated into PSHE, well-being, or enrichment programmes. Our trained instructors work closely with staff to deliver classes that are both engaging and educational - helping students feel more secure, confident, and in control. Sessions can be delivered to whole classes or tailored to be more suitable for students who are prone to violence, or at risk of becoming a victim of violence. 

​

All of our sessions have been developed with a trauma-informed approach and are suitable for students who have witnessed or are survivors of domestic violence. This is discussed as part of the onboarding process. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
