Self-Defense Training
empower. protect. thrive.
Self-defense isn’t about fighting – it’s about never needing to fight.
At FLAG Academy, we believe the best self-defense is avoiding danger before it happens.
Fighting is always a last resort, if you’re in a physical confrontation, you’ve already missed the warning signs. That’s why our training focuses on awareness, prevention, and smart defense strategies that keep you safe without ever having to throw a punch.
When avoidance isn’t possible, we teach natural, simple, and effective techniques that work regardless of age, size, strength, or fitness level. You don’t need to be the strongest person in the room to defend yourself – you just need the right knowledge and strategy.
How our training is different:
In the face of a threat, strength isn’t always the answer (and what you see in the movies isn’t true!) Our workshops and seminars teach smart defense strategies that leverage hidden advantages, tactics and knowledge to overcome a larger attacker. You’ll learn to:
- Think Differently: We’ll show you how to use what you have (your body, common objects, your environment) to your advantage.
- Strike with Precision: Discover vulnerable points on the body for maximum effectiveness, even against a stronger opponent.
- Situational Awareness: Learn to spot red flags early so you never find yourself in a dangerous situation.
- Practical, Real-World Techniques: We don’t teach flashy moves – we teach what actually works when it matters most.Our seminars are designed to empower, not intimidate. We create a supportive learning environment where participants gain the confidence, knowledge, and skills to protect themselves in any situation.
KICCK Program – Kids in Crisis Can Kick
Empowering Children with the Skills to Stay Safe
Every child deserves to feel safe, confident and prepared no matter where they are.
The KICCK Program (Kids in Crisis Can Kick) is designed to give children the tools they need to recognize danger, set boundaries, and protect themselves in an age-appropriate way.
Young children may not have the strength to fight off an attacker, but they do have powerful weapons: awareness, instincts, and smart decision-making. This program teaches them how to use those strengths to stay out of harm’s way and respond effectively if they ever feel unsafe.
Why Schools Need This Program:
Proactive Safety Education: Many schools teach academic skills, but personal safety is just as important. KICCK gives students the knowledge and confidence to make smart, safe choices.
Prevention First: We focus on recognising warning signs and avoiding danger before a situation escalates.
Age-Appropriate & Engaging: No fear tactics – just fun, interactive, and empowering lessons tailored to different age groups.
Taught by Experienced Female Instructors: Our team creates a nurturing yet no-nonsense environment where kids feel comfortable asking questions and learning practical skills.
