"My daughter had her first self defence session today with James. He talked me through what he would be teaching beforehand to ensure I was okay with everything. She was very nervous as she hasn’t done anything like this before but he was very patient and talked her through, he made her feel comfortable and she got stuck right in! I was amazed at how much she had learnt in one session - she was very proud to show us! Her words were “I loved it!” We will definitely be using James again to progress her self defence skills, Highly recommend!"
"Just got back from my 5th ESD class and I am feeling SO good.
I would thoroughly recommend Essential Self-Defence and of course James.
He clearly knows what he is talking about. The classes are designed to be a safe and comfortable environment, so you feel at ease enough to just give it a go. James will show you how to improve and give you focused attention so you know the feedback is personal to you. He also has all the equipment so you can really give it your all and not feel the need to hold back.
The classes are adapted for those that are attending, inclusive for all ages and abilities and James reacts to the scenarios we're concerned about. I.e. ranging from a parent needing to protect their child in a scenario, to incidents that might occur while solo travelling, dealing with knives or even what to do if someone tries to trip you up in the playground!
I've already learnt so much and can't wait for next week!
I honestly cannot recommend James and ESD enough, get yourself to one of his classes!"
