ABOUT     

Self defence has never been more important than it is in current times.  London’s crowded streets present a host of potential hazards to those who don’t know basic self defence strategies and practices.

It isn’t about being fearful, it’s just about being sensible and safe.  

Our self defence classes in London and across the UK are designed for the everyday person. Lasting 1 hour, our classes cover personal safety awareness in your daily life as well as focusing on easy to remember and effective physical self-defence techniques. You do not need to have any martial arts experience, just a willingness to learn to protect yourself.

Physical combat may not come naturally to a lot of people, but self-defence is more about a state of mind than body strength. You don't have to be an aggressive person, but it is important to be aware of your surroundings, think ahead and avoid hazardous situations.

The class will offer many practical techniques that may work in any number of different situations; whether it be an unwanted grope on the tube or something more serious. The class will be interactive, giving you the opportunity not only to try out these techniques and gain confidence in using them, but to ask questions along the way and even ask to be shown a solution to a problem you may have faced.  We also hope to have some fun!

While the emphasis is on a non-aggressive response to threatening situations, you will learn straightforward ways to release yourself from grips and locks - you will also learn about pressure points, how to floor an assailant, as well as how to strike and disarm.

The classes are not violent nor aggressive and cater for all shapes and sizes and levels of fitness as the classes are not aerobically demanding.  Please do not hesitate if you are unfit, overweight, a complete beginner.  

LAST RESORT

Physical intervention is a last resort to be used when you have no other option but to defend yourself.

Practising the moves regularly over time is essential to try to ensure they become second nature and will render them far more effective in any real situation. So, once you finish your class, keep on performing these moves on your own as part of your regular, ongoing exercise regime.

LEARNING SELF DEFENCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY

KB Self Defence does not intend to lull you into a false sense of security.  After Dalia's 27+ years and Kelly's 22+ years in Martial Arts, both instructors clearly state:  "nobody is definitely able to defend themselves, even we do not know that we are always safe.  However, we believe it is better to know something rather than nothing, to increase your chance of being able to defend yourselves.  Don't delay, book a lesson!"
