What’s Involved In Our 1-on-1 Sessions?

At our private studio on the Gold Coast, one of our expert female trainers will guide you through a personalised, multi-modal curriculum encompassing physical techniques and mental strategies. During these sessions, you'll learn effective self-empowerment and defence techniques that can safely remove you from challenging or violent situations.

Our person-centred approach allows us to customise our content to suit our client's specific situations, experience levels and desired outcomes. Our trainers create a supportive and encouraging environment where you can freely ask questions, express concerns, and practice techniques at your own pace. 

Whether you're a beginner or have prior experience, our 1-on-1 sessions will empower you with the knowledge and confidence to protect yourself, making you feel safer and more empowered in all aspects of your life. A practical self-defence solution is more than just "punching and kicking". Our programs are created by women for women and we are here to break the stereotype and remove the victim blaming.

Our Training Methods

Our multi-modal approach means we combine various techniques and strategies from different disciplines, such as striking, grappling, situational awareness, verbal de-escalation, and psychological preparedness, to enhance personal safety and self-defence capabilities.

This approach recognises that real-life confrontations can be unpredictable and require a flexible and adaptable response.

In our self-defence training classes, various types of equipment may be used to enhance the learning experience and simulate scenarios. To adhere to our client’s touch and spacial boundaries, we use Muay Thai pads, tactical dummies, focus pads and punching mitts, and training bags.

What To Bring To Your Session

When attending one of our training sessions, it's important to come prepared with:

  • Towel: stay comfortable and wipe away perspiration during breaks

No need to bring any note-taking materials, we will email you with the course content after the class. 

We will train with you at your own pace, so as long as you are comfortable, we will be able to achieve a great learning experience. If you’re unsure about anything, please get in touch and we’ll happily answer any questions you may have.
