I've just completed the two day women's self defence workshop in Hamilton. Absolutely brilliant! Excellent content and instructors. Hugely empowering. I highly recommend and would definitely attend again.

Cannot recommend highly enough S.A.F.E.'s Women's Street Smart Self Defence and Close Quarters Combat sessions. All of the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, supportive and, crucially, realistic about which self defence tools are most useful in real-life scenarios. The course is extremely comprehensive and covers a huge amount of content, but focuses on giving participants the time and space to practice strategies for themselves (rather than lecturing you). The 'stress drills', in particular, were very helpful in encouraging us all to think on our feet. However, be warned that you WILL feel very sore afterwards, especially after blocking consecutive hits with your forearms at the start of the first session! Nevertheless, the bruises are completely worth the knowledge and confidence you will gain. In short, it's worth every cent. Thanks S.A.F.E. Team for a great and empowering experience!

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.

I attended weekly classes in Grafton and several weekend workshops. Charlie is an excellent instructor - professional, encouraging and empowering. Its gritty, tough stuff and he gets the job done.
