London Self Defence Academy

In my younger days where I learned invaluable skills in leadership, discipline, and self-defence.

At London Self Defence Academy, we believe that self-defence is not just about physical techniques, but also about developing a strong mindset and building confidence. Our courses are designed to empower individuals of all ages and genders to feel safer and more secure in their daily lives.

Our experienced instructors, with over 95 years of combined experience, have helped numerous companies and individuals train their employees and students to defend themselves effectively. Whether you are a corporate company looking to provide self-defence training for your employees, a school, or university seeking to equip your students with necessary skills, or an individual looking for private or group tuition, we have the expertise to meet your needs.

Living in London can be challenging, with increasing reports of crime and violence. Our practical and easily applicable forms of self-defence are designed to prepare you for potential danger, whether it comes from one assailant or multiple attackers. We also provide specialised training in knife awareness and knife defence techniques.

In addition to our general self-defence courses, we are proud to offer specialised classes for women and children. Our Women's self-defence courses focus on teaching women how to defend themselves against any attacker, get out of threatening situations, and condition themselves not to become victims. Our Kids self-defence courses teach children discipline, respect, and the necessary skills to protect themselves from bullies and street situations.

Our training is recognised by two individual UK martial art governing bodies, and we are fully insured. We ensure the safety of our students by conducting up-to-date Enhanced DBS checks on all our instructors.

At London Self Defence Academy, self-defence is not just a set of techniques, but a state of mind. Our courses will help you develop skills, build confidence, and empower you to succeed in combat and everyday situations. From physical techniques to non-physical strategies, visual communication, and the ability to analyse and deal with fear and aggression, our courses cover a wide range of skills necessary for self-defence.
