IMPACT Self Defence

What is it?

Martial Arts and Self defence are not entirely the same thing. Whilst Martial Arts are essential for developing necessary skills and attributes (and can be used for defending oneself), it is a broader discipline incorporating fitness, personal development and in some cases, competition. 


Self Defence training on the other hand should be focused on effective methods that work in high-pressure, dangerous scenarios, where the primary goal is survival or de-escalation. 


IMPACT Self Defence is the banner under which we deliver the various systems we are certified to teach, in course or session format:


  • Steve Tappin's Escrima Concepts
  • Tony Blauer's SPEAR System
  • Mark Davies' Tactical Edge Combatives

Key Components

Our training is focused on context, effective methods of protection and ease-of-use. Many people teaching Self Defence focus on the physical elements without examining the psychological and even physiological effects of high stress situations. 


IMPACT Self Defence examines:


  • Awareness development 
  • Fear & adrenaline management 
  • Instinctive responses to threats and attacks
  • Study of common scenarios 
  • Effective and simple defence techniques 
  • UK laws on self defence
