I am a competitive kickboxer and fitness coach; where self-defense is one of the skills that I teach. I have been coaching kickboxing for 5 years and during that time ran self-defense seminars. As a mother I want to know that my children will be able to protect themselves if something was to happen and to learn how to fight back.

When discussing why self-defense may be used there may be sensitive topics that come up (e.g. if a student shares a story about being bullied or news report relevant to the topic that the class wants to discuss). Self-defense is typically used to escape from a predator therefore the information will reflect these types of scenarios; however I do try to ensure that any stories or information that is given is always kept within the classroom and all students are treated with respect. Please be aware that there are always risk of injuries whenever there is physical activity required. To avoid injury students need to warm-up and stretch and ensure that they are doing the techniques correctly the way the teacher shows.
