Knife Defence Tactics: Knife Self Defence Training

The main focus is knife defence, but we also train against needles, bottles, screwdrivers and anything else that can cut or penetrate the body.

Around 20% of students who train at our dojo have been in a real life knife situation, and about 90% of them never reported it to the police. They are normal, everyday people.

We ask students who have faced a real knife situation what happened, then use their experiences as our training drills, so the training reflects what actually happens.

Yes. Most of our knife defence training is done in regular adults and Junior Adults classes. We also run specialist knife defence seminars several times a year.

Just $19.95 for 4 classes, plus a new uniform to keep (valued at $124.95). We run separate trials for children, teens and adults at 272 Dundas St, Thornbury VIC 3071. Simply fill in the short form, choose your preferred day and time, then pay online after booking to lock in your spot. If it's not for you, just ask for a refund, and if you join, the $19.95 comes off your membership. Your first class starts the clock, and you then have 15 days to enjoy your remaining 3 classes. We recommend training at least twice a week. New skills stick best with regular practice, so twice a week is the sweet spot for learning and remembering techniques.
