MEET JOANNA

I have trained, coached and competed in martial arts for the past 20 years. However, it wasn't until I started working in the security sector that I realised how martial art systems do not always apply for day to day situations, where precautions and safety measures need to be employed by the members of public before physical contact. 

 

With my academic background and penchant for research, I embarked on a mission to study the psychology of threats and I have put together a program that is tailored for the every day woman.

 

In the last 10 years I gave multiple lectures, seminars and workshops in the topic of self-defense. I have worked with schools, charities, universities and corporate companies.
