Survival Martial Arts

Did you know?

Japanese Ju-Jutsu is the parent martial art to both modern Judo and Aikido! It was originally developed by the Samurai as a battlefield art for when they were disarmed or fighting in close quarters.

While we don't fight on medieval battlefields today, we still honor those centuries-old traditions of discipline, respect, and continuous self-improvement. See you on the mats tonight to carry on the tradition! ⛩️👏🏼🥋

🥋 LADIES... WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THIS SITUATION?

You're walking to your car.

Someone starts following you.

They get closer...

Would you know what to do?

We're considering launching a Women-Only Self-Defence Class at Survival Martial Arts Academy — designed to help women of all ages build confidence, awareness and learn practical self-defence skills.

The reality is that personal safety matters:

📊 12.8% of women aged 16+ experienced domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking in a single year — that's approximately 1 in 8 women.

📊 739,000 females experienced sexual assault or attempted sexual assault in England and Wales in the year ending March 2025.

📊 9.1% of females experienced domestic abuse during the year ending March 2025.

💪 THIS ISN'T ABOUT LIVING IN FEAR.

It's about feeling more confident, more aware and better prepared.

Our proposed Women-Only Self-Defence classes would be suitable for:

🥋 All ages
💪 All fitness levels
🙋‍♀️ Complete beginners welcome
🛡️ No martial arts experience required

You'll learn practical skills in a safe, supportive and welcoming environment.

📅 WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We're currently gauging interest and want to know which day would work best for you.

Your vote will help us decide whether we launch the class and when!

🚨 Survival Tip: What is situational awareness?

The best self-defense move is the one you never have to use because you saw the danger coming.

🧠Here are 3 quick habits you can start using today to stay safer on the streets:

1️⃣ Ditch the distractions: Keep your head up and eyes off your phone when walking through car parks or unfamiliar areas.

2️⃣ The 21-foot rule: Keep a safe distance from individuals who make you feel uneasy. Space equals time to react.

3️⃣ Trust your gut: If a situation feels wrong, remove yourself immediately. Your intuition is your sharpest tool.

At Survival Martial Arts Academy, we don’t just teach physical moves. We also teach total personal safety, confidence, and awareness.

🛡️🥊 Want to take your safety into your own hands?We are opening 15 free trial spots next week starting Monday at 19:00. No experience necessary.
