Whilst teaching a recent workshop, an 11‑year‑old suddenly asked, “But why would anyone want to hurt me?”

It's questions like those that shape how I teach. How do we talk to children about risk without making them afraid? How do you explain that sometimes it's perfectly familiar situations that pose the biggest risk, not the stranger-danger they typically imagine?

Self‑defence isn’t just about strikes — it begins long before anything becomes physical. It’s about recognising when something - or someone - doesn’t feel right, practising the words to say “No” and “I’m leaving,”

🥋 Self-Defence Workshops in Market Harborough 🥋

I’m really looking forward to joining the lovely Women Only Walks community in Market Harborough this September to deliver two women-only self-defence workshops. 💪

Self-defence isn’t about being fearless — or becoming a martial arts expert overnight. It’s about building confidence, trusting your instincts, understanding boundaries and having practical skills that could help you feel safer in everyday life.

And I love the ethos behind Women Only Walks — bringing women together to walk, chat, connect and support one another. So I’m particularly excited to combine that sense of community with some practical self-defence skills. ❤️

📅 Monday 14 September
📅 Saturday 26 September

If you’re part of the Women Only Walks community, I hope to see you there!

I was honoured to be part of the Women’s Wellness Empowerment Charity Event on Saturday, organised by In Her Steps — a fantastic organisation championing women’s empowerment through dance.

It was a brilliant day celebrating strong women, powerful movement and an amazing cause! 💪✨ In total the event raised a staggering £1,076 for Women’s Aid and Women for Women International.

I was there to finish off the day by sharing some practical self-defence tips with anyone who still had energy left after all their dancing!

A huge thank you to Ria for inviting me, and to all the fabulous women who took part! 💜

A brilliant session today on Empowerment Self-Defence for Girls! 💪

We had great conversations about recognising red flags, staying aware in potentially risky situations, and using simple strikes to help create an escape if needed.

We also explored different ways to say “no” when something doesn’t feel right, and discussed who to tell if something happens.

A thoughtful, empowering session all round — and a big well done to the girls for bringing such brilliant energy!

“I’ve wanted to learn self-defence for 25 years.”

At the end of my session on Monday, an older Muslim woman came up to me.

Twenty-five years ago, she was racially attacked on the streets of Leicester because she was Muslim.

Since that day, she’d wanted to learn self-defence - to feel safer, more confident, and to know she had options.

So I asked her gently, “Why has it taken 25 years?”

Her answer broke my heart: “I’ve never had the opportunity before. Until your class came along.”

What she was describing was a lack of opportunities to learn self-defence in a space that felt right for her: an all-female class, with a female instructor, and an approach that was sensitive to both her culture and past traumatic experiences.

THIS is why I feel so strongly that empowerment self-defence should be accessible to everyone.

Not just those who can afford it.
Not just those who feel comfortable in a mixed class.
Not just those who are able to train with a male instructor.

Everyone. And it needs to start young.

Because self-defence isn’t just about physical skills. It’s about boundaries. Awareness. Confidence. Trusting your instincts. Knowing you have choices.

No one should have to wait 25 years to learn those skills.

Self-defence is a life skill — and I believe it should start at school age.

Sometimes, self-defence starts with one powerful word: no.

No to pressure.
No to uncomfortable situations.
No to someone crossing your boundaries.

For girls navigating secondary school, learning how to set boundaries, trust their instincts and speak up with confidence is just as important as learning physical self-defence skills.

That’s exactly what we’ll be exploring in our Empowerment Self-Defence for Girls workshop this Saturday — practical skills to help girls feel more confident, aware and empowered.
