Bristol School of Self Defence

 

The Bristol School of Self Defence was established in 2008 by Lea Welsford and Paul Hobday, with the help and support of Kevin O’Hagan. Realising the importance of self protection in today's society, the school was formed to give people the opportunity to learn the skills that are essential to preventing and surviving an attack.

 

Timed to coincide with National Personal Safety Day, our first self defence class started on Monday 13th October 2008. National Personal Safety Day, run by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, is an annual event aimed at raising awareness of the simple, practical solutions that everyone can use to help avoid violence and aggression in today's society. It's about helping people to live safer, more confident lives, which is the purpose of the Bristol School of Self Defence.  Personal safety, also referred to as ‘self protection’, is a major part of the courses we teach.  Our courses are designed to teach you about self protection and how to avoid dangerous situations, as well as teaching you the physical self defence techniques needed should an attack occur.

 

Suitable for people of all abilities the self defence techniques are easy to learn, regardless of fitness or experience. Our experienced instructors ensure that all training is carried out in a friendly, controlled manner.  Forget the fancy throws and kicks that you see in the movies, the techniques we teach are simple and effective, having been developed over many years and tested in real life situations. The methods taught by the Bristol School of Self Defence come directly from Kevin O'Hagan - one of the world's leading authorities on the subject.  The physical skills have been taken from a mixture of different martial arts systems, in particular combat jujutsu, and have been thoroughly tested to ensure they do actually work under pressure.

 

Whether it be protection in your job or protection in your personal life, learning these skills will give peace of mind to you and your family.
