Why is there a requirement for our services?

Nobody needs telling that we live in dangerous times.

"We as a society are becoming desensitised to the cries of the victims and
over-governed in our approach to the criminals"

We would be very lucky to live our live without any injuries to our bodies. The world is a dangerous place but we as human beings have learned to adapt. We are civilised and have laws which have been put in place to protect the innocent. Despite this our biggest threat is still from another human being. No matter how advanced the human race becomes, the aggression factor still remains with us. It is not unique to the individual, the whole world at some stage has been involved with violence. Every day we turn on our television to be greeted by stories of horrific violence inflicted by one human being on another. Be it a war on the other side of the world or a mugging in the next street.

Normally unless one is a member of the armed forces we choose not to become involved in violence happy in the knowledge it will never happen to me and that I am protected by the laws of the land. After all that’s what I pay my taxes for.

But in reality are we really safe ?

Statistics show if you live in London you have a better than 1 in 4 chance of being attacked or burgled !!

Here at myselfdefence we do not teach you how to fight. We teach you strategies and techniques to enable you not to have to fight. A real life confrontation with violence is not glamorous like the movies, where every move is choreographed to make spectacular viewing with an abundance of stage blood with the human body shown to be able to take enormous amounts of physical punishment.

Unfortunately in real life this is sadly not the case.

In reality most people are out of the game before they know it has started.

At myselfdefence we not only teach highly effective and easy to remember techniques, an essential life skill in today's society to say the least. There is also a large emphasise put on awareness strategies

You do not need to have any martial arts experience to learn our self defence skills.

Courses are tailored to suit individual needs.
