About Us

Our Instructors and Course Designers have over 40 years experience in Martial Arts and Self Defence. They have trained in Martial Arts from China, Japan and Korea, and also extensively studied and practised Self Defence. These skills and techniques have been tested and proved to work in real life scenarios.

We all felt that, while we loved our art, it was generally that—an art. In an increasingly violent society we need more than art to keep us safe. We have spent the last twenty years researching, attending seminars and training in all aspects of self defence. Together we have compiled this knowledge and now offer it to you.

There are many systems and people selling information on the web that claim their product is this best and most effective. However, most of these deal with a single element of self defence and normally that is the actual physical attack itself. Our information is much more comprehensive and relevant to people who wish to avoid violence and stay safe.

Mission, Values and Beliefs.

Our belief is that everyone should develop the basic skills that will enable them to move freely about their daily lives. Everyone should be able to use sensible, highly effective techniques and essential life skills to deal with the challenges they face day to day.

Practical Self Protection is not martial art training, nor is it fighting. It is a range of skills relevant and applicable to a modern society. These are skills that will help you to improve your quality of life by increasing your confidence, helping you deal better with people and give you a freedom from fear.

Our programme is based on developing awareness, assertiveness and verbal skills. Also it covers safety strategies that will enable someone of any size, age or gender to escape, resist and survive violent attacks and bullying. This is not just dealing with confrontation; it is also developing psychological awareness, confidence and more importantly, life skills.

The principles covered are simple, easy to apply and require no previous martial art training. We have found that as well as adults gaining a great deal from this programme, children and teenagers have also benefited from this information.

We have seen great results from teaching these principals to children. Teenagers who were bullied at school have applied these concepts and found the bullying either greatly diminished or stopped completely. Many have gained a new sense of confidence and some have been able to avoid potentially life threatening situations.

We have not done this to make money. Our aim is to help people stay safe and free from fear and violence. Even if a small handful of people avoid a potentially life threatening situation from using this information, that would be our greatest reward.

Our information has helped to transform the lives of many people. Some have been kind enough to email us back with their experiences. Please take some time to look at what they have said.
