Honoured to teach our Knife Aware Survival Program to the Staff at YMCA today !
The workshop was to show strategies to be able to help to take pre emptive measures , notice pre fight indicators and escape tactics !

This workshop is the preventative tactics to help protect their personal space, be more aware of their surroundings while in the workplace, common sense scenarios and advice on how to keep safe !!


Had some great feedback, the course is interactive , none of that death by PowerPoint stuff , we work with the staff by asking them questions, their observations , and opening their minds to think strategically!
We also went over edged weapon hierarchy , escape knife threats, post conflict blood and injury checks, and showing catastrophic bleed kits and use !

This is not a knife self defence course , it’s a self preservation awareness and escape course to help to save lives !!

Thank you to the management on caring enough for their employees by allowing me to come up and teach , and the great team who were brilliant and engaged!

Thanks to Laura for her assistance today to run the session and look forward to the next one !!!

Domestic abuse affects more than 2 million people every year, with the police receiving a call about it every 30 seconds on average. Yet only 1 in 5 victims are estimated to report incidents to the police.
Raneem’s Law was established in memory of Raneem Oudeh and her mother Khaola Saleem, who were murdered by Raneem’s ex-husband in August 2018. There were 13 reports made to the police about concerns for Raneem’s safety, but no arrests were made. On the night she was killed, she rang 999 four times but the police did not respond in time.

Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls Jess Phillips said: “Raneem’s death showed us the devastating cost of missed opportunities”.

Crawley Combat & Fitness are mindful of such tragedies as highlighted above. We want woman in the local and surrounding areas to feel safe, strong and capable in any situation, as Raneems Law is only being piloted in a few geographical areas across the UK. That’s why we want to make you aware of our ladies only survival tactics programs while training in a supportive female friendly environment. We have the support of Sussex Police for our work with woman’s self defence.

For too long, crimes disproportionately impacting women and girls have not been met with the specialist response they require. Get in touch.

Brilliant session on Saturday Crawley Combat Academy run by The Self Defence Centre CIC and Physical Empowerment CIC.

A huge well done to all the women who attended and to the coaching team, including Chara (the dog).

With thanks to Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner for funding this project, helping raise awareness of domestic abuse and how to break the cycle, the importance of self-worth and how knowing self-protection can truly be a game changer.

Once you realise then you are unstoppable ❤️

🌟 Do Whatever It Takes to Facilitate an Escape! 🌟

In self-defence, your priority is to escape safely. At Combat Survival Tactics, we teach that using any and all necessary force is crucial until you can get away. Your safety is the most important thing!

đź’Ą Key Points to Remember:

Escape is the Goal: Always aim to get to safety. This might mean using all the skills you’ve trained in
Know Your Rights: UK laws, like the Self-Defence Act 2008, allow you to use reasonable force to protect yourself.
Trust Your Instincts: In a high-pressure situation, you may not have time to think. That’s why our training focuses on muscle memory. Your body will know what to do.
đź’Ş Your safety is non-negotiable. Join us at Combat Survival Tactics to learn how to protect yourself effectively.
