SELF PROTECTION ACADEMY

We run a Self Defence Training Academy in Highett, Victoria, AUSTRALIA, that specialises in preparing people for real-world violent encounters. We have a strong focus on educating our students about the importance of avoiding violence and making sure they understand when violence is the answer and the level of force appropriate for the context of the moment.

Our focus is on principle-based training techniques that are easy to remember that allow our students to re-call what they have learnt when needed and to adapt to a situation at the moment. Our focus is to provide them with the necessary skills needed to assess a given situation, avoid at all costs, de-escalate if needed and possible, or if forced, use appropriate levels of violence to defend themselves and most importantly, get home Safe.  

We only focus on training methodologies that have a high probability of successful outcomes. Techniques that have proven themselves successfully in combat sport and our own, personal experiences. We practice scenario training that not only covers physical confrontation to give our students a real understanding of how difficult real violence can be, physically and emotionally, but we also run scenarios on how to avoid a violent conflict altogether.

Our motto is:

“90% of Self Defence is Mental.”

We want our students to be fully prepared to face all aspects of violence and to provide them with the mental and physical skills to prepare them for all aspects of life.
