Workshops for 2020

Unfortunately due the COVID-19 outbreak we have cancelled all workshops during March and April. Those who had registered for the March and April workshops were issued a refund through either Eventbrite or EventFinda.

We will reassess things at the end of April and determine if the remainder of our workshops will continue. At this stage all workshops from May onwards are still open for registration.

On the 13th of March 2020, Head Instructor Charlie Riley completed his ICS grading with Peter Sciarra and is now a Level 10 Black Belt Integrated Combat Systems Master Instructor.

Self-Defence & Close Quarters Combat Workshops & Courses

throughout New Zealand

The self-defence workshops and courses we run are nothing like your typical self-defence course, from the very start you'll realise our instructors are extremely passionate and knowledgeable. They are also certified in their disciplines and make sure all the attendees feel comfortable, enjoy themselves and get the most they can out of it. The workshops and courses are a practical, hands-on experience where you learn fast, effective and easy to remember self-defence techniques.

Rape, criminal attacks, domestic and workplace violence along with bullying are on the increase throughout New Zealand and with a little bit of knowledge along with the practical application of techniques taught throughout the Street Smart Self-Defence System participants will be able to feel more confident and safer at home, on the street, at their place of learning or at their place of work.

The Street Smart Self-Defence System is being taught to corporates, non-profits, Universities, College and Schools. The syllabus taught can be tailored to suit any type of business and is perfect for those looking for team building, Health and Safety or a Workplace Wellness programme.

What sort of thing can I expect to learn at one of your self-defence or combatative workshops & courses ?

The self-defence modules teach you how to protect yourself and strike back should you find yourself being attacked or physically assaulted. You are also taught to become more aware of your surroundings and what sort of situations to avoid, but what we mainly teach you is to prepare yourself both physically and mentally for those worse case scenario situations.

The instructors show participants a combination of dirty street fighting, close quarters combat, kickboxing, kung fu and de-escalation skills, in addition; workshops can also cover static and dynamic knife attacks, gun hold-ups, weapon work (twin and single sticks, knife, nunchaku and staff) plus ways to use everyday items such as sweeping brushes, keys, belts, shoes and credit cards as weapons.

The syllabus we teach is continually being revised and pressure tested, this ensures that what you learn is a modern, effective, fast and easy to learn street smart self-defence system. Please note we do not teach Krav Maga.
