Physical Empowerment CIC

We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) with a holistic approach.

Self-defence is more than a just a set of techniques, it is a set of beliefs that start with the fact that "you are worth defending".  The sad part is that a lot of people don’t really believe they are.

We see proof of this time and again when we run a beginners self-defence session, especially a female only one. Ask a woman to hit the pads because someone attacked her and she will half-heartedly hit them whilst apologising for possibly hurting you at the same time.

Tell that same woman to pretend that those pads just attacked her child and they go positively feral with no apologies to be heard.
