Family Self-Defence

This site is under construction!  We are getting our Zen on and trying to build you "one with everything"

We teach safety, discipline and respect for self, others and community as core to our art. 

In this school you learn to repel and disarm attacks using the attacker’s own weight and strength against them. It is therefore ideal for anti-bullying & streetwise self-defence. Because it does not rely entirely on strength it is ideal for women & children to defend against larger stronger attackers. Students always achieve increased confidence, fitness & self-discipline through learning self-defence.   Inner Circle Academy also teaches Anti-Bullying, Stranger Danger and have a classes for students 6 & under, 11 & under, 15 & under, seniors up to any age, beginners to advanced

You will learn how to fight, how to handle yourself in aggressive situations and how to land a punch. You will then learn how to ‘not fight’.  It is important to learn how to create space, opportunity and how to de-escalate dangerous situations.  Your skills will include, identifying dangerous and violent environments, aggressive attack precursors and how to shut down bullies.

You will also learn self-defence. Self-defence is quite different to martial arts. In a martial art, there are many things to learn that seem to have little connection with modern day applications whereas self-defence techniques you will learn have real and useful contemporary relevance.  You will learn how to modify your responses to match identified risks and practice them until they become reliable muscle memory skills.  Ground work and weapons (of opportunity) will be practiced every session.

There is also a separate and discrete martial arts component. There are 4 complete martial arts systems that can be learned including Japanese JuJutsu, Goshin-Jutsu (Self Defence), Kali (Stick Fighting) & Yang Traditional Style Tai Chi (& Double Dragon Yang Tajiquan). We also practice Iaido (including Battojutsu, Kenjutsu and Tameshigeri) and a full Combatives curriculum for those that wish to extend their skills.   Students will also learn other valuable life skills throughout their studies.  Watch here for pages and pages of family self defence tips
