Let’s Face It… Feeling Safe as a Woman Is Harder Than Ever
🚨 2 in 3 women in the UK feel unsafe walking alone at night.
🚨 97% of young women report harassment in public places.
🚨 1 in 8 women in the UK (3.2 million) experienced domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking.
🚨 Spiking, stalking, and intimidation are on the rise - in bars, on transport, even online.
The Problem With Traditional Self Defence
❌ No Clear Path – Women are told to “be careful” but rarely given a practical, step-by-step system.
❌ Misinformation – Much of what’s online is macho nonsense — often dangerous, rarely useful.
❌ Time-Consuming – Martial arts take years, and still don’t prepare women for harassment, spiking, or real-world threats.

YouTube is filled with self defence tutorials, but most of them are impractical, macho demonstrations that don’t work in real-life situations—and some are even dangerous.
While YouTube offers endless free content, relying on it alone can waste hours searching for partial answers and unsafe advice.
Without a structured, step-by-step approach, it’s hard to build real skills that you can trust in everyday situations.
If you’re serious about learning effective, safe self defence, 7 Day Self Defence for Women is the answer.
