ZKS Martial Arts runs Self Defence both as part of the standard curriculum, but also as stand-alone courses with private organisations, companies, and in conjunction with the Police.

We offer special Self Defence for Women classes, as well as teaching general self defence for all.

Unlike feudal Japan, where men wore skirts - and probably felt obligated to carry a sword, we do not live in a violent society. However knowing how to protect yourself against a variety of common attacks is useful, whether you are 6 years old or 60 years old.

Learn how a pen can be a very useful weapon, or how high heeled shoes can disable an attacker (not something the male students have to try!). Defend against grabs, punches, pushes, knives or even stick or baseball attacks, know when to duck and when to dive - know when to strike and when to run.

Self Defence does not have to be complicated, and some very simple and effective techniques are taught to reduce the risk of injury during an attack.
