Our weekly classes are also great fun, in a relaxed and safe environment, with like-minded individuals. It is a great place to share experiences and make new friends.
Women's Classes
The need for truly effective self-defence has never been more urgent. Crimes against women have risen exponentially over the past decade. There has been a shocking 400% increase in rapes since 2014. It is also estimated that 1 in 30 women will be sexually assaulted this year in the UK.
While these figures are truly chilling, it is still possible to stay safe. You don’t have to be a victim. Our weekly classes will teach you how to be safe in every situation.
Brief History of Defendu
Defendu has an amazing history. It was created by Colonel William E Fairbairn in the 1920s while he served in the Shanghai Municipal Police. In 1926 he published his first book (called Defendu). He realised the need for a hand-to-hand combat system that was highly effective, easy to learn and would work under intense psychological pressure.
During WW2, Fairbairn returned to England to train British spies, commandos and special forces. His skills were so in demand, he then went to America and Canada to train their special operatives.
Even today, his methods form the basis of current special forces training. It is widely acknowledged that his methods have never been improved upon. I am proud to be taking his methods forward to a new generation.
Adapted for Women
Years of research and experience has enabled me to adapt the principles of Defendu into a system that deals with the types of situations that women experience. I decided to do this in memory of my beloved sister who died so young as a result of years of abuse at the hands of her husband. No woman should ever have to go through what happened to her.
After a very long period of development, I now offer a complete system for women’s safety. Size and strength don’t matter as these methods work for everyone. As well as the physical applications, I also teach a broad spectrum of safety strategies.
