Our Self-Defense classes
At BeYourOwnHero, we teach our students the best techniques and skills to defend themselves in a wide variety of dangerous situations. We prioritize efficiency and ease of learning rather than orthodoxy and adherence to dogma, which means that we are not focused on a single school of combat sports or martial art, but rather that we incorporate different elements that we feel are the most effective into our classes. Your assailant will not suddenly stop dead in his tracks when you tell him you are a Black Belt, but he will regret trying to attack after you introduced him to a quick succession of highly effective defence moves that leave him writhing on the ground trying to catch his breath...

Below is a list of the different martial arts that we draw inspiration from:
