Self-Defence Training Testimonials

Did this class with my 14 year old daughter and she enjoyed learning the self defense moves. I felt more empowered after doing this class and especially glad that my daughter has the tools to defend herself. Would definitely recommend this class and Charlie and Amber were awesome. Fun and informative and all hands on to practise for real life situations. Thank you and would attend again.

Highly recommend taking a S.A.F.E course if you get the chance - don't be shy! I have taken part in two courses over the years and it is life-changing. I don't say that lightly, it really made me evaluate my behaviour, fitness and increased my awareness and confidence. As a very anxious person, it was intense but also a lot of fun. Many thanks to the team and hope I get to take part in one during 2021

A really fantastic course. Would highly recommend anyone. I enjoyed learning all sorts of techniques and skills. There was always options and it allowed me to find something that really worked for me even if I found others awkward. It was easy to ask questions and the instructors encouraged us to give it a go escaping all sorts of new situations, encouraging us to think and be creative. You definitely come out with a few bruises, but i feel like i've earned them and learned so much.

I did a 2 day womens self defense course with these guys. I cannot express how amazing it was! We went over soo many different scenarios and so many different techniques! I had so much fun and learnt so much. It made me feel so empowered and gave me the confidence and the skills to realize that i can defend myself. Shout out to the instructor Charlie! He was amazing in the way he taught us everything! Every woman needs to do this course!

I am not so good at leaving a review..haha so here is a message: thank you Charlie, and Amber. I attended the 2 days workshop in Tauranga, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Practice, practice and try different techniques with respect and confidence. Imagine the more common scenario and learn how to deal with it. I feel I am a bit more ready if needed. I got new core (body) exercise to perform every day, it's so cool! And I got new mantra connected with good reaction. I am super grateful, it's so good for women, I felt listened if needed, I felt safe and respect. And I felt that I was learning useful. So again thank you for the workshop, count on me to try to come again. See you soon Charlotte

I attend Charlie's workshops as often as I can to reinforce what he teaches. Every person needs to learn these techniques! Quick and practical for real life scenerio's. The workshops are physical, so expect bruising!

Hi Chae I enrolled my wife and daughter in your recent Massey Uni based self defence course. Best thing I have ever done!! They both came out bruised but aware, and extremely praising of the Teachers. All of us have been sharing your site with those who we know would benefit from that knowledge. Again thank you

I attended the Tauranga self defence workshop with Charlie and Amber today and 100% recommend it. The course is quite confrontational but it needs to be so that you can apply your defences to real life situations. I've come away feeling really empowered and equipped with so many defence techniques that I can apply to an array of difference circumstances and attack positions. I will definitely be looking into the other courses that Charlie runs and wouldn't hesitate attending this one again when he returns to Tauranga

The self defence course was a real eye opener and I'm really glad I went through with the back to back weekend session. Thank you Charlie, Amber and Ash - you were superb instructors, very professional and incredibly patient. I thought the course was practical and I appreciated how each step was made simple even for someone a touch uncoordinated like me. It was exhausting, and I was covered in bruises, but I felt that I was able to bring home a lot of useful techniques and more importantly, a better mindset. Thanks again team.

10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Attending these courses has been so worthwhile, I can't recommend highly enough! Chae and his team do an incredible job of running informative classes in a non-intimidating way. You'll learn heaps of new skills that you'll be buzzing to share with others. Thanks Chae and the team!
