ULTIMATE 4 PILLARS OF SAFETY
“Our four signature courses can be delivered individually or combined. Each session is built upon PALMS, SAFER and POP-so your team doesn’t just learn what to do, but how to think and respond.”

- Conflict Management – Navigate difficult situations confidently and effectively. Visual, verbal, and emotional tools to de-escalate, redirect, or exit safely.
- Self-Defence – Physical skills are taught with clarity and confidence. When action is needed, we train what the law allows—and how to deliver it under pressure.

Teaching Women Self-Defence Is Still The Best Way To Reduce Sexual Assaults
A landmark research study (Violence Against Women 2014, Vol.20(3) 252-269) has proven that teaching women self-defence tactics reduces the risk of sexual assault.
The landmark research study, found that training which focuses on teaching women how to detect risk in situations that could lead to sexual assault and defend themselves when necessary, reduced the rate of rape among participants by nearly 50 per cent and are more confident in their ability to effectively resist assault than similar women who have not undergone training.
