What is Self Defence with Clare?

Self Defence with Clare provides self-defence classes for charities, high schools, public sector organisations, businesses ​and individuals. I am a karate instructor running a dojo in Nantwich and take elements from years of training to devise these easy to learn self defence sessions. I have a full DBS, first aid trained and fully insured.

Everyone can benefit from learning self-defence. The aim is to remove yourself from a situation that could potentially escalate.

My courses will teach you simple but effective ways to do this by using technique and not strength.

I understand learning something new may be a little scary and you may think you need to be very fit and strong to learn self defence thats why sessions are suited to ability keeping a fun, safe and friendly environment training at you pace.

Learning self defence can also benefit you in other ways other than to defend yourself:

Empowerment
Learning any self defence can be an empowering experience. Self defence can allow women to take control of their own safety and feel more in control of their lives.

Stress Relief
There is a lot to be said for hitting a few pads and letting tension out. The physical activity involved in self defence training can also service as a form of stress relief and can improve overall mental well-being.

Increased Confidence
Learning self defence can help women feel more confident in their ability to protect themselves and be assertive.

Increased knowledge and awareness
Self defence training can help women better understand the dynamics of violence and how to avoid dangerous situations.
