"I have attended Robert’s Tai Chi classes for many years and really enjoyed the experience.

When he announced his Self Defence class, I immediately jumped at the chance of participating. A great decision. Robert’s unrivalled experience and his unique training methods have given me the confidence that if I am ever in a 'volatile' situation I can hopefully protect myself from harm."

Learning Essential Self-Defence Techniques Starts from Your First Session

⦿ How to break free from wrist grabs
⦿ How to deal with an angry and potentially violent aggressor
⦿ Simple strikes that use your body's natural strength and are hard to defend against
⦿ Awareness skills to avoid dangerous situations
⦿ How to create distance and escape safely
⦿ Understanding when and how to use self-defence legally and appropriately
⦿ Building confident body language that deters attackers

AND MUCH MUCH MORE.

Most sessions also have an opportunity for anyone with a specific self defence concern (or scenario that worries them) to bring it up so that we can examine how to deal with it.

WHO ARE THE SESSIONS FOR?

Basically, they are for anyone and everyone who wants to feel and to be safer.

For Complete Beginners:
No martial arts experience? No problem. Our techniques work regardless of your size, strength, or fitness level. You'll learn practical skills that rely on leverage, timing, body mechanics, etc. They do not rely on brute force or years of hard training.

For Older Adults:
Designed for real people, not athletes. These techniques are suitable for adults of all ages, focusing on smart defensive moves rather than high-impact fighting.

For Busy People:
One hour a week builds real confidence. Each session teaches complete techniques you can practice at home.

The Benefits of Tai Chi For Self Defence

Tai Chi is renowned for its health benefits, but it can also provide you with a formidable means of self protection. Our sessions offer a unique blend of traditional Tai Chi principles and practical self-defence techniques.

⦿ Discover Hidden Strengths
Experience the potent combination of power, fluidity, and internal energy that Tai Chi embodies. Learn how to apply these principles effectively in real-life self-defence scenarios. By the way, ‘internal energy’ is not some semi-mystical nonsense, but a quick way of referring to using correct bio-mechanical structure and to the optimum use and expression of balance and other physical and mental facilities of the body.

⦿ Confidence and Poise
Gain the ability and confidence to handle challenging situations with ease. Through practical exercises, partner drills, and scenario-based simulations, you'll enhance your awareness, reflexes, and decision-making abilities.

⦿ Venue
In person sessions are held at our dedicated Tai Chi studio located in Rushden. We limit this session to 8 attendees so please contact Robert on 07771 333 369 to confirm availability before booking your place.

The pace and content of a regular weekly session will be different to what was taught in the seminar shown in this video. However, this should let you gain an idea of the effectiveness of Tai Chi.

“Thanks for a great session that really helped me understand the self defence context of several Tai Chi movements, and possibly more importantly, concepts of movement that we employ in all of the things we do in Tai Chi, from footwork to breathing to the importance of relaxation.”
