Abilities. Our workshops are designed to cater to individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Our expert instructors understand that everyone has different abilities and learning styles, and they are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all participants.
At Kent Self Defence Workshops, we believe that self-defence is for everyone. We are dedicated to empowering individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to protect themselves and their loved ones. Our comprehensive training programmes cover a range of topics, including self-defence techniques, self-protection strategies, situational awareness, conflict de-escalation, and consent training.
Based in Folkestone, Kent, our workshops are not limited to the local area. We operate nationwide, ensuring that individuals all over the country have access to our valuable training. Whether you are a student, a professional, a parent, or simply someone who wants to feel more confident and prepared, our workshops are tailored to meet your specific needs.
What sets us apart at Kent Self Defence Workshops is our team of passionate and experienced instructors. They are dedicated to empowering individuals and helping them gain the skills necessary to navigate challenging situations with confidence. By providing practical, hands-on training, our instructors ensure that participants are equipped with techniques they can apply in real-life situations.
Our services extend beyond individual workshops. We also work with a variety of clients, including schools, local authorities, corporate entities, and private individuals. In schools, we provide essential self-defence training and situational awareness programmes for students from year seven to year thirteen. We also offer workshops specifically designed for girls, women, and teen boys, addressing the unique needs and concerns of each group.
Local authorities trust us to provide training for safer communities. Our programmes for corporate clients not only enhance staff safety but also promote team building and bonding. Additionally, we offer self-defence training for private individuals and small groups, including our popular family workshop that fosters open dialogue between teens and parents.
At Kent Self Defence Workshops, we believe in the importance of addressing common misconceptions about self-defence. Self-defence is not about being aggressive or seeking out fights. It is about equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge to protect themselves in threatening or dangerous situations. We emphasise the importance of recognising when it is appropriate to use self-defence techniques and when it is better to avoid or de-escalate a potentially dangerous situation.
We also address the misconception that self-defence training is only for women. Both men and women can benefit from self-defence training, as everyone deserves to feel safe and protected. Men are also vulnerable to physical attacks and can benefit from learning how to defend themselves in dangerous situations.
Whether you are interested in joining our workshops, enquiring about our online courses, or booking our services for your school, organisation, or private group, Kent Self Defence Workshops is here to help you take control of your safety and wellbeing. Empower yourself today and discover the confidence that comes from knowing you have the skills to protect yourself and those you care about.
