“I think this is really important stuff for women to know. I definitely think I'll feel safer out on my own”

“He has taught classes across the world and passionately believes that more women and even children should be thinking about self defence!”


Simon Hutchinson, Beds On Sunday 2007
“Self defence has never been so vital! Recent crime statistics have shown that Bedfordshire has the highest recorded rate of violence against a person in the East of England area despite the amount reducing by seven per cent from 2005/2006. Now a Biggleswade author and self defence expert is trying to teach women the basics about how to defend themselves against
