If you’re looking for private self defence lessons in Leeds, I offer personalised, one-to-one training from my dedicated space in Horsforth.

- A safe, private space in Horsforth, Leeds to train without distraction
My Approach to Self Defence
My teaching is principle-based, not technique-based. Rather than memorising a long list of moves, you’ll learn how to move efficiently and apply structure, relaxation, and awareness to handle unpredictable situations.
At the core of my teaching is Wing Chun, a Chinese martial art known for its speed, sensitivity, and efficiency.
From there, I integrate insights from other disciplines to provide a well-rounded foundation:
- Kali – weapon awareness, flow, and adaptability
- Aikido – redirection and control of energy, locks and holds
- Ninjitsu – awareness, stealth, and versatility
This blend of systems creates a complete approach to self defence, suitable for both beginners and experienced martial artists in the Leeds area.
Who Is The Training For?
?My one-on-one lessons are open to anyone looking to improve personal safety, confidence, and physical understanding — including:
- Beginners with no previous martial arts experience
- Professionals seeking self defence skills in a private setting
- Martial artists from other styles wanting to understand internal principles
- Local residents in Leeds and Horsforth who want practical, efficient training
You’ll develop not only techniques but also awareness, posture, timing, and confidence — skills that extend far beyond the training room.
