SELF DEFENCE—FOR EVERYONE
Unlock the power of self-defence with techniques inspired by Aikido, Judo, Jujutsu, & Kung Fu, all without throws. This class emphasizes balance, fluid coordinated movements, & redirection to neutralize threats. Enhance your situational awareness & build the confidence to navigate your surroundings safely. Our self-defence class integrates both physical & mental training to boost your confidence in various scenarios, such as dealing with agitated customers or coworkers, recognizing and escaping risky situations, saying ’No!’ to unwanted peer pressure, & confronting immediate dangers or threats. While direct confrontation with a violent threat is a key aspect, there’s much more to learn. Grounded in traditional wisdom yet tailored for modern self-defence, this approach empowers you to remain calm, focused, & in control. Your tutor, Martyn-James Atkinson, is a highly accomplished professional in both self-defence & the teaching industry.

BOOST YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLSWe have all been in situations where we’ve been misunderstood, despite agreeing on a course of action & giving what we thought were clear instructions, leaving us frustrated or angry. Was it them or our inability to communicate clearly? We’ve sent an email in haste & wonder why we receive a curt (or no) response. We have failed to listen & engage with the other person and wonder why we don’t get the contract, the job offer or follow up social engagement. Do you avoid difficult situations because you don’t know how to deal with them? Communication skills are necessary because they help us to share information, understand others & build connections. They play a vital role in professional relationships, education, work & socially. Good communication enables clear expression, active listening & collaboration.
