Steffi E I joined The Self Defence Club after my Krav club closed. I love these classes! John is an ace instructor with experience across several martial arts. He blends techniques from each of these to create ways of defending yourself that are realistic to use in a street scenario. As a woman who works in London - a big and busy city that has seen some horrible crime in recent years - taking martial arts classes has helped build a lot of confidence in me, which I also carry with me around where I live locally. We’re an easy going group who just want each of us to learn to their best ability. We train to emulate potential real-life scenarios that would impact men and women, in an environment that is different from a village hall or a dojo, but always in a safe and supportive manner. Definitely come and give us a try!
