There are many reasons why you would consider taking steps to enhance your personal safety. You may have heard stories in the media about rising crime; perhaps you or someone you know has been the victim of crime. Maybe you have a job that puts you in situations where you do not always feel comfortable. You could be considering taking up a martial art and want a taster to see if it is likely to be your thing.

You may have another reason, entirely different from those mentioned above but just as valid, and want to explore further; getting fitter, more flexible, stronger, and more confident are common reasons. Whatever your reason, you are onto something important; a key principle of self-defence is trusting your instincts. They were there thousands of years before human intellect developed, keeping our ancestors alive through countless life-threatening situations.

If you would like to explore further the details of our self-defence courses and/or are interested in taking up a martial art please contact us and we will be delighted to help you.

Are You Committed (And Do You Need To Be)?

How committed you are to enhancing your personal safety? If you are very committed and want to develop your fitness, strength and stamina as you learn the skills needed to defend yourself then starting a martial art may be the right step to take.

However, if you want to make less of a change to your lifestyle but want to learn some simple, no-nonsense attitudes and techniques that will enhance your safety then a self-defence course may be a better option for you.

Alternatively, taking a self-defence course may be a stepping-stone before deciding whether or not you want to get more involved in self-defence and martial arts.

So you don’t need to be really committed, you simply need to decide that you want to exercise more control over your safety and self-protection. Surely, a very sensible decision.
