TRADITIONAL SELF-DEFENCE IGNORES THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST...
YOU CAN CHANGE THAT
• What if more training doesn’t mean better results?
• What if teaching fewer techniques actually saves more lives?
• What if you could teach someone to defend themselves — even if you only had one hour with them?
These aren’t hypotheticals.
They’re the questions that built the SAFE Certification — a program designed to flip the script and finally reach the people traditional systems ignore.
You've successfully taught self-defence to dedicated clients who train regularly. But what about the everyday person who might only get one chance to learn?
The Challenge Most Instructors Face: Your current training works great for students committed to ongoing classes. But how do you create a life-saving lesson for someone who walks in for just one class?
The Silent Questions: • "How can I help regular people stay safe in real-world situations?" • "What if they never take another self-defense class?" • "How do I make every minute count?"
The Real Opportunity: It's not about adding more techniques. It's about creating a framework that works in hours, not years.
The Stakes Are High: • Missed opportunities to help vulnerable populations • Potential life-saving skills left untaught • Entire communities left unprotected
The industry is evolving. And you're ready to lead the way.
SAFE Certification isn't just another program. It's your blueprint for teaching self-defense that works — even if it's the only class someone ever takes.
Are you ready to expand your impact?
✅ Prevention Comes First. Most programs jump into fighting — we teach students to avoid violence before it begins.
✅ Made for Everyone. SAFE adapts to women, seniors, youth, and people with limitations — not just the strong or athletic.
✅ Empathy, Not Ego. You’ll learn to teach through awareness, adaptability, and trauma-informed understanding.
✅Simple, Real Skills. SAFE focuses on foundational tactics people retain — even under stress.
✅Verbal Conflict Skills Included. Beyond “yelling back off,” you’ll learn proven de-escalation and communication drills.
Why spend years (and thousands) on certifications that don’t prepare you to teach real people?
With SAFE, you’ll:
✅ Follow a proven, step-by-step method built for real-world impact.
✅ Teach strategies that prevent violence — not just react to it.
✅ Ensure your students retain what matters most — even if they only train once.
⚠ Say goodbye to guesswork, outdated techniques, and martial arts fluff.
Too many people wait until they — or someone they love — experiences violence to take action.
By then, it’s often too late.
❌ They assume self-defence means years of martial arts.
❌ Most people never think violence will happen to them.
❌ They think they’ll just figure it out under pressure.
That’s why most programs fail — and why SAFE Certification is different.
We prepare you to teach people before something happens — because real self-defence starts long before any confrontation.
“If you teach self-defense and violence prevention — or want to — and you’re ready to reach beyond the typical 18 to 30-year-old tough guy demographic, look no further than SAFE International and Chris Roberts.
The SAFE Certification is both evidence-based and scientifically backed. There’s no other certification like it — and it’s probably one of the most affordable I’ve seen. I cannot recommend Chris and SAFE enough. Give it a go.” - Richard Dimitri
“This program saved my daughter from an abduction by a knife-wielding man at a mall. She and a friend were walking back to their car in broad daylight when he stepped out from behind a pillar, blocking their path.
With a knife in hand, he demanded they get into the car. But because of this training, my daughter recognized the danger instantly, stayed calm, and took the right actions—allowing both girls to escape unharmed.”
— J. O’Brien, Grateful Mother

👊 Self-Defence is About More Than Fighting—It's About Getting People Home Safely To Their Loved Ones.
As the founder of SAFE Violence Prevention & Self-Defence, I’ve spent over three decades training people of all ages from youth to seniors as well as instructors globally.
My journey began long before my career. As a pre-teen, I witnessed a sexual assault at my school —something I blocked out for years. I didn’t realize then how much that moment would shape my life. But it led me here—on a mission to help others avoid violence before it happens.
Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering women, youth, seniors, and survivors of violence - teaching them simple, effective strategies they can use in real-life situations.
Now, I want to help YOU do the same.
