Let’s Be Honest… Most Women Have Had That Moment
That moment where something doesn’t feel right.
🚨 Walking home and hearing footsteps behind you.
🚨 A conversation that turns uncomfortable
🚨 A situation that suddenly shifts and feels dangerous.
You don’t always know what it is - but you feel it. And in that moment, most women are left wondering:
“Am I overreacting… or should I do something?”
“What should I actually do?”
“Will I freeze?”
“Will anything I’ve seen or heard even work?”
The Problem With MOST Self Defence ADVICE
❌ It doesn’t reflect real situations
What you see online or in classes often doesn’t match what actually happens - where things are fast, messy, and unpredictable.
❌ It relies on confidence or strength
You’re expected to “be assertive” or physically capable, which isn’t always how people respond under pressure.
❌ It’s hard to remember when it matters
Techniques can feel complicated or unrealistic - and in a high-stress situation, that matters. And when something does happen, you don’t have time to think - you need something simple that works.

Hi, I’m Julie Waite, I know what it feels like to feel vulnerable, unsure, or second-guess yourself - because I’ve been there.

I teamed up with Dene Josham, who has spent over 30 years working in personal protection - from Royal Marine Commando to bodyguard for clients including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
