The S.A.F.E. self-protection system stresses the recognition and avoidance of aggression. We teach that physical confrontation is an absolute last resort!

Unfortunately avoidance isn't always possible, and violence can visit anyone and everyone. So S.A.F.E. is wholly inclusive. It welcomes all participants regardless of age, gender, disability, fitness or previous experience. It is perfect for anyone who has concerns about aggression, crime and violence. If you want to develop effective self-protection skills, and build a profound sense of self-worth, self-reliance and core confidence, this is the system for you.

The S.A.F.E. acronym stands for "Specialised Amalgamated Fighting Elements" and S.A.F.E. is a highly specialised self-protection system. It is relevant to what is happening around us here and now. It is clear, direct, and quickly and easily learned, and it is useable in even the most stressful conditions.  We will teach you all the physical, behavioural, emotional and psychological skills you need to defend yourself and to keep others safe.

Unlike many other martial arts and self-defence systems S.A.F.E. is designed SPECIFICALLY to deal with real world aggression and violence in ALL of its manifestations, from anti-rape skills to dealing with bullying, from knife defence and military style close-quarter combat, to children's anti-abduction and stranger danger classes.  Everything taught at S.A.F.E. is tried and tested.
