Self-Defence for survivors of Domestic Violence

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS

Are you a survivor of domestic violence? Would you like to learn real, practical skills to defend and empower yourself and build your confidence?

The healing journey for women who have suffered at the hands of domestic violence can be rich in personal growth and development. It is an opportunity to become empowered and cultivate a sense of confidence, strength, and a realisation that you can change your life for the better.

At Arakan Martial Art® we focus on building both mental and physical strength, which not only shows women how they can defend themselves physically, but also empowers domestic violence survivors to create a new life that is safe and free of fear and abuse.

Self-Defence For Women

How could I ever defend myself against someone twice my size?

This is a common concern for many survivors of domestic violence. They have had their power and control taken from them, and a lot of the healing comes from bringing your body back under your own control.

With Arakan Martial Art® you do not need size or strength in order to effectively protect yourself or others. Instead you will learn to use your whole body in super-dynamic ways as your body and mind become more adaptable, flexible and agile.

Arakan Martial Art® instructors are passionate about helping women become more empowered and confident. We teach you fast, powerful, practical and adaptable self-defence techniques that will keep you and your loved ones safe. 

By developing a greater understanding of body weight, momentum and moving with the path of least resistance, you will learn to produce flowing movements that are precise, powerful, and speedy - a distinct advantage against an attacker who may be perceivably bigger and stronger than you.

In addition to giving you the physical tools to build your confidence, Arakan Martial Art® also encourages you to be in the moment as you increase situational and environmental awareness, as well as improve mental focus and concentration. 

At Arakan Martial Art® we understand that the damage of domestic violence can stretch much further than women, which is why we also offer training for children. 

Empower Your Children Too!

Many of the women who train with us also enrol their children as a way to empower them, and help them heal from the trauma of domestic violence.

At Arakan Martial Art® your child’s safety is our number one priority. Your child will learn and develop in a nurturing, positive, creative and fun environment. Our goal is to empower your child and ensure they are equipped with the skills and techniques to ensure their safety and wellbeing.

Our experienced instructors teach your child how to adapt to many situations and environments, become dynamic, adaptable and capable of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of themselves and others, but our training is more than just learning striking and kicking.

Children who have survived domestic violence, like women, have often had their power taken from them. Through Arakan Martial Art® training, we work to piece that back together with them.

Our training is about developing an unshakeable inner strength that can’t be taken away. Your child will develop discipline, gain greater focus, self-empowerment, self-awareness, as well as learn powerful self-protection techniques. All of these attributes will transition into greater areas of their life as they mature into adulthood.

Arakan Martial Art® specialises in private training lessons and specialised junior group classes, which we believe are the safest and fastest ways for your child to learn new skills, ‘street smarts’ and awareness. Private training lessons ensure your child will have the undivided attention of a fully qualified instructor to guide them on their journey, and can be the best approach for children who have survived a DV situation.

All instructors hold ‘Suitability Cards’ for child related employment (Blue Card). We offer a complimentary one hour private lesson to assess your child, their needs and create a program based on that assessment.
