"My daughters recently had a lesson with James and it was clear he knew his stuff. They thoroughly enjoyed it and now can get themselves out of a situation using self defence. James is 6 stone lighter than me and stopped me in my tracks, very impressive and highly recommended"

"I highly recommend this class. I wanted my daughter who is 9 to learn self defence alongside building confidence especially since she is at an age where she is becoming more independent and will be starting high school in a couple of years. The class for me teaches important life skills that perhaps are not taught in lessons at school. I also thought important for me to learn too so that if I ever found myself in a vulnerable situation I knew how to defend myself. James is a warm and welcoming person who puts you at ease and explains what to do in a straightforward way and makes the class fun at the same time as teaching important lessons. I have learnt so much already and my daughter loves it. Our friends have also joined in and we all now attend regularly."
