Children’s Self Defence Course
We run a practical, age-appropriate personal safety course designed for children aged 10 to 12 who have started to walk to school without parental supervision. These sessions combine physical techniques, verbal assertiveness, situational awareness training, and confidence-building — all delivered in a calm, child-friendly environment.
These are not martial arts classes. Instead, we focus on real-world skills that help children feel safe, capable, and prepared in everyday situations.

Looking For A Bespoke Course?
We can create a course specific to your own needs. Our scheduled courses run on Wednesdays, but we can run our courses at other times if Wednesday’s are not convenient. We have run courses for parent groups at weekends as this has been more convenient for the parents.
A bespoke course is suitable for:
- Parents who want to arrange a course for a group of their children’s friends
- Children’s groups and organisations such as girl guides or scouts
- Families who would like to arrange a private course at their house for members of their family only
