They test you — your techniques, your endurance, your abilities.
But do they prepare you to teach the people who need you most?
The women, teens, seniors, and survivors who may only ever give you one class?
Because the truth is… most programs ignore regular people.
So what happens? They stay vulnerable. Unprepared. Overlooked.
🔶 Flashy moves? Cool in theory... useless under pressure.
🔶 They skip prevention — the most important piece.
🔶 Instructors walk in with no plan to make one class count.
Many have told us: “I’ve been teaching forever... but my students need more. SAFE fills the gap.”
We often hear: “I love and teach combatives — but I wanted a way to reach regular people, the ones who’ll never step into a combatives gym. SAFE gave me that framework.”
“I didn’t connect with programs that focused on fighting. SAFE’s prevention-first, empathy-driven approach finally felt right — and it’s why I chose to teach it.”
How do you help someone walk out of your class feeling safer...right now?
🔸 How do you make it stick in daily life?
🔸 What if this is the only time you ever see them?
🔸 How do you make every minute count?
🔸200,000+ trained — we know what works
🔸No filler. No fluff. Just what protects
🔸A plan that energizes you — and empowers them
Start equipping — not overwhelming — your students.
🟡 People who need help — left without it
🟡 Skills that save lives — never shared
🟡 Entire communities — still vulnerable
Other programs stick to old routines. SAFE equips you to protect people...right now.
Others jump to “fight back” tactics. SAFE steps in earlier…helping people avoid danger entirely.
Women. Teens. Seniors. Everyday folks—not gym rats.
SAFE equips those who are truly vulnerable…not the ones training to be John Wick.
We don’t build “tough guys.” We build instructors who listen, adapt, and teach with trauma-informed awareness.
Simple moves. The kind you remember—even if your hands shake and your brain’s on fire.
“Yelling back off.” isn't enough. SAFE drills go further with drills that train you to stay calm, listen, speak, and defuse conflict.
Follow a battle-tested framework trusted worldwide.
Clients walk out with tools they can use that same day.
Equip students with skills that sink in - and show up under pressure.
Students retain skills without thousands of repetitions or endless memorization.
❌ No filler.
❌ No cookie-cutter drills.
❌ Certifications that prepare YOU, but fail the people who need you most.
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 hope they’ll just figure it out under pressure.
That’s why most programs fail — and why SAFE Certification succeeds.
SAFE doesn’t just build instructors. It builds community protectors.
"SAFE Certification is evidence-based, scientifically backed, and one of the most affordable programs I’ve seen.
There’s nothing else like it.”
“This program saved my daughter from an abduction by a knife-wielding man. Because of this training, she 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.
SAFE Certification isn’t just another self-defence certification—it’s a proven framework designed for instructors who want to create real impact.
