course price icon
From 57.16 £ /h
arrow icon
The lessons are focused on practical, real-world techniques that help individuals stay safe in most situations. I emphasize situational awareness, quick reaction training, and simple yet effective techniques that work under pressure.

"It is better to have one solution for five problems than five solutions for one problem"—this is my philosophy.

My approach also includes psychological readiness, helping students manage fear, stay calm in confrontations, and develop heightened awareness and consciousness.

I believe in training both the body and the mind. Lessons typically last one hour and are tailored to each student’s needs.

With over 11 years of experience in various martial arts, a self-defense instructor certification, and a background as a licensed private investigator and aggression coach, I bring valuable and exclusive expertise to my training.

About Me
I have been training in martial arts since I was 13, which has given me over 11 years of experience in self-defense. My journey started with Wing Chun, Kung Fu, Karate, and a bit of boxing before I discovered Krav Maga in 2019. Over the course of five years, I dedicated myself to intensive training, earning my instructor certification and refining my skills in real-world self-defense and combat tactics.

Beyond martial arts, I am also a licensed private investigator and trained aggression coach, which gives me a unique perspective on personal safety, risk assessment, and conflict management.

My philosophy is simple: "It is better to have one solution for five problems than five solutions for one problem." I focus on practical, instinctive techniques that work under pressure, while also emphasizing mental resilience, situational awareness, and de-escalation strategies. I am passionate about helping people feel confident and capable in their ability to protect themselves.
