How we began
Self defence can feel scary and overwhelming. You’re walking into a class full of strangers about to tackle some pretty heavy topics. Sometimes you can even leave feeling more confused and afraid than before you entered. As a result, women may be discouraged from seeking out and taking classes in self defence. This is why Sarah created the Defence Project. This class offers women the opportunity to learn important life skills in a supportive, safe, and friendly environment.
Sarah is a qualified Group Fitness Instructor, Boxing Trainer and 2nd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo. Her training in Martial Arts over the past 7 years is what led to her interest for women’s self defence.

If you find yourself in a dangerous situation that you cant safely get away from, the next best thing is learning how to de-escalate that situation.
