Empowerment Through Awareness Confidence Through Knowledge
The gut feeling. The red flag. The shift in the room. The pattern.
Learn to trust it. Learn to read it. Learn to respond —with skills for the life you actually live.

This is what our trauma-informed, supportive Women’s Violence Prevention and Personal Safety Workshop is built around.

Designed specifically for women seeking to enhance their personal safety, deepen their situational awareness, and build skills to prevent and respond to violence in everyday life. Through guided reflection, discussion, and practical tools, you’ll explore how to tune into your intuition, strengthen and safeguard your boundaries, and assess environments and relationships with greater confidence.

🔍 Discover your own coping responsesin high-stress or threatening situations.
🤝 Identify and evaluate key relationship dynamics that may affect your personal safety.
🧭 Learn how your intuition can serve as a powerful early warning system.
🌐 Understand the layers of awareness—Behavioural, Environmental, Situational, and Self.
🚩 Recognise behavioural red flags that signal potential predatory behaviour.
👤 Explore the 4 main types of anti-social personalities and how they typically operate.
🛡️ Build your personal safety toolkit with a proven framework for avoidance and prevention strategies.
 
Our Women’s Violence Prevention and Personal Safety Workshop is trauma-informed, meaning it prioritises psychological safety, optional participation, and a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Whether you’re here for personal growth, professional development, or recovery support, this session is about equipping you with practical tools and inner strength.

Our workshop is facilitated by an expert in holistic personal safety with a background spanning behavioural analysis, and the neuroscience of threat, stress, and human behaviour. Her work is grounded in lived experience, diversity awareness, and decades of frontline practice.

Big news from the KMA family.

Dave and Shellé Friedman have completed their SAFE International Instructor Accreditation — and we couldn't be more proud.

At Krav Maga Australia, we've always believed that real personal safety goes far beyond physical technique. It's science-backed, evidence-based, and built around a holistic model that gives our students every tool they need:

Avoidance. Prevention. Effective Escape.

This accreditation is another step in our commitment to teaching personal safety the right way — grounded in research, delivered with integrity, and focused on one goal: helping you go home safe.

Congratulations Dave and Shellé. 🙌

Last night our Chief Instructor, Dave did a knife defence seminar under coach Jerry Wetzel founder of the world renowned Red Zone Threat Management.

This was a great opportunity to train and learn from an expert in the field.

Constant learning, constant growth, always looking to learn more and being on the look out for the best education that we can pass onto our students is a part of ethos. Our thirst for knowledge, our desire to constantly learn, matches what we ask of our students.

We will never stop learning so that we can never stop teaching.

Big week! Our Director & Chief Instructor Dave Friedman sat down with Tony Moclair live on 3AW Afternoons.

The chat followed and Police Reporter .burke attending our Self Defence Fundamentals Workshop where our science-based, trauma-informed approach left a real impression.

Thank you Madelaine Burke Police Reporter and 3AW Afternoons with Tony Moclair for participating in our Self Defence Fundamentals Workshop and for sharing your experience 🙏🏻

We are really happy to hear that you found the workshop beneficial and took value away from it.

It was an absolute pleasure having you both on the mats. You both brought great energy and were fantastic to work with. Engaged, fun, open, and willing to give everything a go. Looking forward to next time! 🙌

Big thanks to Krav Maga Australia for having us along on Saturday.

Tony Moclair and I stepped out of the studio and onto the mats for a 2.5-hour self-defence workshop, and it was eye-opening!

From de-escalation and reading pre-attack cues, to learning how your natural flinch response can actually work in your favour, this session was all about practical, real-world skills.

We got a taste of “shredding” techniques (simple, instinctive, and effective), plus a deeper understanding of how to assess threats and respond appropriately, whether that’s avoiding danger altogether or acting when there’s no other option.

Huge credit to Dave and Shellé Friedman for delivering such a grounded, trauma-informed approach.

Highly recommend for anyone curious about self-defence or just wanting to feel a bit more prepared in the real world.
