Self-Defence for Survivors of Domestic Violence

Self-Defence Lessons for Survivors of Domestic Violence

At Arakan Martial Art®, we offer a compassionate and healing environment for those who have experienced domestic violence.
We understand that such trauma leaves deep scars, both emotional and physical, and we are here to support you on your journey to reclaiming your strength, peace and confidence. Our experienced and caring Instructors are dedicated to guiding you with kindness, trust and respect, ensuring that every step of your journey is one of healing, empowerment and growth.

 

Our approach focuses on nurturing both your mind and body. We teach practical self-defence skills that emphasise agility, leverage and momentum - techniques that allow you to feel strong and secure, even without relying on size or strength. These skills aren’t just about protection; they’re about reconnecting with your own power and learning to move through life with confidence. Through gentle, personalized training, you’ll gain control over your body and your environment, building a sense
of safety that extends beyond the training space.


Arakan Martial Art® is more than just physical training - it’s a path to emotional healing. As you progress, you’ll grow stronger in body and mind. We help you build mental clarity and emotional resilience, teaching you to trust yourself, stay calm under pressure, and sharpen your awareness of the world around you. These are life-changing skills that allow you to reclaim control, feel empowered, and move forward with a renewed sense of strength and confidence.


We also offer specialised programs for children who have been affected by domestic violence, helping them build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a strong sense of confidence in a safe, nurturing environment. Our Instructors hold Working with Children Cards, ensuring that your child’s safety and well-being are always our top priority. In this supportive space, they will learn how to navigate life with resilience, confidence, and a sense of inner peace.

 

At Arakan Martial Art®, we believe in the power of healing through movement and connection. Our training is designed to help you rebuild your life with:

 

  • Increased Confidence: As you master each technique, you’ll rediscover your belief in yourself.
  • Physical Empowerment: Build strength, agility, and body awareness that help you feel secure in any situation.
  • Mental Focus: Learn to stay calm and sharp, even in moments of pressure or stress.
  • Emotional Healing: Shift your mindset, reclaim your personal power, and find peace within yourself.


We’re here to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing. Whether you’re rebuilding after trauma or helping your child find their strength, Arakan Martial Art® is a safe, supportive space where you can grow, heal and thrive. You don’t have to face the challenges of life alone - together, we can rediscover your inner strength, one step at a time.

In your 20s, you’re at a crossroads. You’re setting the foundations for the man you’ll become. You can drift through these years, chasing comfort and distractions, or you can use them to build yourself into the strongest version of who you are meant to be.
