Defend

All instructors are highly professional and they make you feel very welcome. Krav Maga is hard work but it's really enjoyable. Its definitely worth visiting for a few trial classes 👊🏼

I had zero experience with any kind of self defence techniques and was very nervous about starting but the instructors at Defend are absolutely brilliant and able to cater to all levels of skill and ability. They make you feel welcomed, push you to try your best and are very skilled instructors. They also make it a lot of fun! Can't recommend them enough!

Dave is a first rate instructor - very friendly and with expert knowledge. He demonstrates technique & explains why it works in the real world. You'd struggle to find a better instructor in the UK.

I really enjoy that the focus isn't just on technical skills but also covers recognising behaviours and choosing an effective strategy depending on the situation you might be in. The instructors are knowledgeable, engaging and most importantly, patient. They always push you to achieve your best and my fit...

I am no longer a member of a gym as this training provides...
