OUR SERVICES
Whether you are looking for group workshops or 1-1 sessions, each course is built around your needs

GROUP COURSES FOR BUSINESS
Suitable for up to 25 attendees, these courses are ideal for businesses who want to offer their staff a useful skillset, run a team-building event, or to ensure their employees' safety for certain types of work.
​
Depending on the level of detail required, we can offer anything from introductory workshops to BTEC Level 2 certification in self defence.

SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES
With increasing awareness of sexual harassment and assault, these courses are geared towards giving students greater confidence in saying 'no', understanding where boundaries lie and offering techniques for fighting back and escaping where necessary.
​
Examples of topics covered include: spiking of drinks, legal definitions of sexual assault, harassment & rape, situational awareness when going out, and dealing with the 'freeze' response.

SOCIAL GROUPS & CLUBS
Do you have friends, a social group or club that would all benefit from learning self-defence?
Why not book a fun group session for everyone?
​
Group sessions cater for up to 25 people and can be tailored to any scenario or requirements that you have. They can be delivered in front rooms, gyms, halls, the park - anywhere with some room for participants to move around.

WOMEN'S CHARITIES
Learning self-defence, when carefully delivered, can be a powerful aid in the recovery of trauma such as domestic violence and childhood abuse.
​
Taught in small groups within a safe environment and by a trauma-informed instructor, the pace of learning is dictated by the participants. Extra care is taken to manage potential triggers with a strong focus on practices to manage anxiety and gently widen the 'window of tolerance'.

INDIVIDUAL 1-1 SESSIONS
The thought of joining a mainstream class can be daunting at first, especially if dealing with past trauma. 1-1 sessions are perfect for those wanting to build confidence, who have a specific requirement, or want more personalised training.
​
Sessions are tailored to each individual's needs and goals, and can be held either at my home studio in Leicester or at a venue of your choosing.
