Unbreakable Self-Defence

Delivered by ZamZam Unlimited Possibilities, these empowering sessions take place every Monday, 5–6pm, at Barley Croft Community Centre, Leicester, running right through to the end of the summer term.

This is more than just a self-defence class — it’s a chance to build confidence, learn practical skills, and feel stronger in yourself.

✨ Set strong boundaries
✨ Use effective striking + escape techniques
✨ Build confidence and stay safer

Violence thrives in silence. Connection creates protection.

One of the most powerful — and often overlooked — principles of empowerment self-defence is “Tell.”

Knowing who to tell, and trusting that you’ll be believed, supported, and never shamed, can make all the difference. It not only helps recovery after a traumatic experience, but can also shine a light on red-flag behaviour before it escalates.
When we share our stories, we realise we’re not alone. And when voices come together, they create strength, support, and change.

Recently, I adapted this principle for a group of 7–11-year-old girls. Using a fun, age-appropriate game and real-life scenarios, we explored who they could turn to if something didn’t feel right.

This is what teaching self-defence to young girls looks like: helping them recognise unhealthy behaviour, trust their instincts, and know that speaking up is a strength.

What does self-defence mean to you?

We believe it is more than physical technique — it’s confidence, boundaries and care that travel with you every day.

Our trauma-informed, evidence-based women's self-defence programmes in Leicestershire and the East Midlands blend situational awareness, verbal skills and physical drills so you leave feeling prepared and empowered beyond the training mat.

✨ “We are powerful.” ✨ Sometimes we just need a little reminder of the strength, resilience, and power we already carry.

Last week I had the pleasure of supporting my friend and fellow empowerment self defence instructor Maya .space at her workshop at The Bridge in London.

It’s always a joy to work alongside Maya — she has this calm, steady strength that instantly helps people feel comfortable. I always leave her sessions having learned something new or with a fresh idea sparked!

And sadly we didn’t manage to grab a photo of us in her very cool T shirts… so you’ll just have to picture it 😄💪

Are these just messy squiggles, or could they be your first self-defence lesson? This drawing came from a lively session with girls aged 9–10, as we explored which parts of the body are vulnerable and which are strong enough to use in self-defence. It's all about empowering young girls to protect themselves with confidence!

We teach whole-person empowerment — awareness, boundary-setting, de-escalation and simple physical responses — so you leave feeling calmer, clearer and more confident. Our trauma-informed, evidence-based approach has helped past participants across the East Midlands report measurable gains: higher situational confidence and ways to manage their anxiety.

As an instructor with experience of teaching a wide range of participants, I will tailor the material to suit you, and support steady progress at your pace.

Very excited to be delivering a series of self-defence sessions starting today for Safe and Sound, a Derby-based charity that tackles child exploitation by raising awareness, providing 1-1 and group support and activities and education for families, young people and professionals working in this area.

We will be delivering 6 sessions of empowerment self-defence to their afterschool girls' group, teaching not just physical skills but increasing awareness of risk, effective boundary-setting and verbal skills to assert themselves amongst other exciting topics!
