Thank you for organising yesterday, first of all - it was extremely useful. I thought in particular that the real life examples from trainers and trainees meant that we addressed real issues that we were concerned or unsure about, and now know how to behave therefore in particular situations. Also I thought the trainers were very positive, and gave everyone a lot of time and respect (as potential victims of crimes) so much so that personally I felt less of a victim, and more like someone who could be more confident and take charge of my own safety (by avoiding a confrontation in the first place of course ideally!)

I came away feeling confident that I could get myself out of a sticky situation if I needed to. The techniques used where not physically challenging which means that I will be able to do them without straining myself. I highly recommend this course especially to those people that work in and around London. The guys that ran the course where very funny and patient and gave really good advice. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

I thought the course was both informative and fun. The trainers were friendly and articulate, explaining in more detail when asked. Plus I really enjoyed kicking the hell out of Rob whilst he was all suited up. A good stress buster. On a more serious note... I would recommend everyone to go on the course. Again a great course which has given me more confidence when travelling on my own to deal with any situation that may arise. Thanks for offering this course and thanks again to the trainers.

I believe that the course was really good and I was hoping that someone would organise one soon. The trainers were very knowledgeable and explained very simply the basics of self-defence. Having being attacked, robbed, stalked etc. I was surprised by the fact that the instructor knew exactly what I felt and could understand my reactions clearly. I hope I will never find myself in those situations again but if I do, I am more confident on what I could do.

I thought that the training and the trainers were very good. It's definitely something that everybody should do. Maybe it would be good if we could have longer one-day sessions so that we could cover more.

The course was really informative and am finding the "death pinch" very useful! The practical session was excellent and it was generally good to become more aware of personal safety issues.
Thanks for arranging it.

I found the session very useful and well constructed. The emphasis on how to avoid getting into situations at all was very good and then the practical solutions should the worst happen was very helpful, especially as the techniques were suitable for people of all sizes and strengths. I would thoroughly recommend going on this course for anyone.

I thought the training was insightful, and conducive to a state of alertness in security awareness. The trainers were both approachable and knowledgeable. The time was just enough to keep the attention span with enough physical exertion to show us defensive moves.

I personally found it very useful and everything, from the venue to the course content, was excellent. In fact, I would definitely attend any follow up course that was focused entirely on the physical aspects of the course (and dress more appropriately!) if these were held.

I am very pleased with the course. It was presented with authority and clarity.
The course members were encouraged to participate verbally and actively resulting in the maximum learning experience.
I think the course has been very professionally prepared and wish to rate it as 'Excellent'! I have not ever rated courses this high in the past.

I found the course informative and interesting. The techniques section demonstrated easy to remember procedures. The venue was fine. The duration was ok – but could possibly have been a bit longer, we were all learning a lot as well as having fun.
