Self Defence Course for Schools & Colleges

At Conquest Martial Arts, we have developed a strong and expanding network of partnerships with schools and colleges across the region. Our extensive experience in working with educational institutions allows us to deliver high-quality, tailored courses, training sessions, and seminars throughout the academic year. Each programme is carefully designed to meet the unique needs of students and staff, ensuring engaging, practical, and effective learning experiences every time.

What makes Conquest Martial Arts truly unique?

Unlike many modern systems that are either sport-focused or rely on outdated methods, our approach is grounded in real-world self-defence. What we teach has been tested in practical scenarios and refined to address the very real threats people face in today’s world—not in a ring, not on a scoring system, but on the street, where control, clarity, and survival matter most.

    What we teach

    Unlike many modern systems that are either sport-focused or rely on outdated methods, our approach is grounded in real-world self-defence. What we teach has been tested in practical scenarios and refined to address the very real threats people face in today’s world not in a ring, not on a scoring system, but on the street, where control, clarity, and survival matter most.

    Our training covers the full spectrum of violence, not just the physical techniques. Students learn to handle:

    •  Verbal aggression – recognising warning signs, de-escalating conflict, and using voice effectively

    •  Physical aggression – responding decisively and effectively to protect oneself or others

    •  Fear management – developing the mental tools to stay calm, avoid freezing, and act with purpose under pressure

    Each session can be tailored to suit the age group and needs of the participants, ensuring content is always appropriate, relevant, and engaging. Specific topics can also be added or removed on request, making our programmes highly adaptable for schools, colleges, and other educational environments.

Here’s why our clients love us:

  • "I recently took part in a self defence class with David and loved it! We were a group of approximately 10 women and we paired up to practice defence mechanics moves and escapes from holds, which were really helpful. The time allowed for practice the me lots of confidence of how to deal with different situations and David also talked us about UK law and what we could and couldn't do legally. David was an excellent teacher and I learnt a lot in the two hours and would definitely recommend a session to everyone of all ages."
