You Want to Feel Safer, More Confident, and More in Control — You’ve Found the Right Place to Start.

Most women who come to us feel curious — but also unsure whether this will feel right for them. Most options don’t quite fit: too aggressive, too sport-focused, or not built with women in mind.

You’d like to feel more aware and less frozen — walking alone, dealing with unwanted attention, or anything that doesn’t feel right
You want practical skills that work regardless of size or strength
You’d prefer a structured place to start — not a fight gym

This programme is built for exactly that. Women-only classes. Practical skills based on real situations, not sport or theory. No pressure. No expectation. Just a clear place to start — so you can begin to feel like someone who knows how to handle themselves, not just someone hoping nothing happens.

You don’t need to decide anything today — just start by getting the information.

What Does the Programme Cover?

Not About Fighting. About Feeling Capable.

The goal is to avoid trouble before it gets physical. But if avoidance isn’t possible, you’ll have an effective response — techniques that are simple, don’t rely on strength or size, and target vulnerable points rather than trying to overpower. Not sport, not theory. Built around real situations.

Awareness & Avoidance

Spot It Before It Starts

How to read a situation early, set boundaries, and create distance — in the street, a car park, at night, or anywhere that doesn’t feel right. This is where most real-world safety comes from, and it’s what you’ll use most.

De-escalation

Resolve It Without Force

Verbal and practical techniques to manage a developing situation — how to disengage calmly, set a clear boundary, and reduce tension before anything escalates. Having options changes your response. When you’ve practised these in realistic scenarios, you’re less likely to freeze.

Effective Physical Response

If You Need It

If avoidance isn’t possible, you’ll have a clear response. Simple, direct techniques targeted at vulnerable points on an attacker — not relying on strength or size, just being accurate and decisive when it matters.

What You’ll Cover

Four Sessions. A Complete Safety Story.

Each session builds on the last — from spotting a problem early to knowing what to do if things go wrong. Calm, structured, and introduced step by step.

Session 1

Awareness & Boundaries

“Avoid problems early. Move with intent.”

Situational awareness and positioning
Voice and boundary-setting — simple and assertive
Basic striking — palm strikes, how and when

“I feel more aware already — I’m not just passive anymore.”

Session 2

Escapes from Grabs

“If someone grabs you, you know what to do.”

Wrist, clothing and hair grabs — using leverage, not strength
Elbow strikes — powerful and short-range
Create space and move to safety immediately after

“I can get out. I’m not stuck or helpless.”

Session 3

Striking & Response

“If you need to act, you can.”

Palm strikes, elbows, knees — targeting vulnerable areas
Simple combinations — no complexity, no memorisation
Controlled pressure drills — calm, not overwhelming

“I can actually respond. I won’t freeze the same way.”

Session 4

Ground Survival & Getting Up

“If you end up on the ground, you’re not stuck.”

Defending against strikes and chokes on the ground
Simple counter-attacks to create space
Creating distance and getting back to your feet safely

“Even in a worst-case situation, I know what to do.”

Common Questions

What Women Usually Ask Before Registering

No. Registering means we’ll send you information and let you know when the next session opens. You decide if and when you want to book. No obligation until you choose to book your intro session.
