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.

Hormesis and the Arakan Effect: Training That Builds You Stronger Under Stress

Biohackers live by the principle of hormesis – the idea that small, controlled doses of stress make the body stronger, smarter, and more resilient.
It’s why we take cold showers. Fast. Hit the sauna. Lift heavy. Breathe deep.
We stress ourselves on purpose – to grow.
But there’s one powerful, often overlooked form of hormetic training: martial arts. And not just any martial art – one designed for real-life chaos, pressure, and unpredictability.
That’s exactly what Arakan Martial Art delivers. And it’s one of the most potent, natural ways to upgrade your stress response system – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
