Best Women's Self-defense Classes Leicester Near Me

4worldlovers: L.I.O.N.S Stands for Leadership In, Operational New Self-Defence (safety). It is a Science and psychology based reality self defence system that has been designed and developed as a unarmed, minimum training response to extreme violence in modern society.

The system draws inspiration from the founder, Chirag Lukhas, 20 years of active martial arts experience as well as modeling battle tested civilian responses to violent attacks and military combative techniques. LIONS teaches a set of tried and true principles which are trained for immediate application to real world, real life scenarios.

THE AIM OF LIONS: To empower people with the roadmap of self defence and the flashlight of survival techniques so that they can protect themselves and their loved ones in the instance of violence. We teach Age Specific kids classes focusing on controlling techniques, abduction defence and becoming bullyproof as well as leadership and character-building lessons. We also train adults at our courses and in busines with terrorism and active shooter survival strategies, work-place self defence and verbal/non physical deescelation. This also has a strong focus on team spirit and leadership.

The voice of violence is getting louder, every single day we switch on our TV or open our social media feeds and see yet another Terrorist attack, another child abduction, another stabbing, another home invasion, another incident of a child taking their own life because of bullying. In a world where the voice of violence is getting louder, I feel that it is my moral duty, as someone who is passionate about self-defence and empowerment, to also get louder and spread the message of what can be done and shifting the focus from the doom and gloom. That's the only way to combat it and that's why I created LIONS. I want to give people the tools they need to come home safe, to their families, each and every evening.

I wanted to create a system that didn't require the same number of years required to learn a traditional martial art nor did I want it to be based on having to have a certain body type or fitness level. Essentially it had to be something that used the natural responses of the body and worked effectively for people who didn't want to spend time and money on learning traditional martial arts. Thus, LIONS was born as a set of principles which can be adapted and applied with very little thought or effort to any circumstance. What's more is that LIONS is not just about kicking and punching, it deals with all aspects of self defence from awareness and prevention to recognition and deescalation. - Chirag Lukha

Chirag Lukha is the Founder and Creator of L.I.O.N.S Self Defence. He has over 20 years worth of provable martial arts and self defence experience which has seen him represent and win Gold for Team England as well as being an undefeated British Champion for the entirety of his six year competition career. His classical martial arts styles include Karate (where he is a 4th degree black belt), Shaolin Wushu (2nd degree black belt) and Kempo Freestyle (1st degree black belt) having trained under some of the top names in China and Japan as well as law enforcement and military combatives trainers.

As a child Chirag was hospitalised several times for asthma and lacked self-confidence, it was then that his parents took him to his first martial arts class. Since those beginnings he has witnessed first hand the benefits both physically and in terms of character building and self protection that the martial arts can have. This is why he decided to create a system that would empower kids and teens with life skills through life saving skills. Lukha uses martial arts as a vehicle to teach students about a success mindset and his classes have a strong emphasis on age specific key skills in line with the new school curriculum. This skill-set is guaranteed to put your little ninja ahead of the curve and develop Focus, Discipline, Teamwork, Confidence, Communication skills and much more. Chirag shows his students how these skills can be used in martial arts as well as at home and at school.

4worldlovers: Your nearest club is at Gannons Dojo, 84 High Street, in Leicester

We have been teaching children martial arts and karate to help them become more confident and healthy for over 20 years at our martial arts schools. This is achieved by teaching them the best in karate, kickboxing and mixed martial arts. We also specialise in teaching children how to STOP the bully with our unique anti bullying programme.

Your child will learn from genuine high ranking, award winning black belt instructors, who are not only experts in teaching children, but are also walk the talk and are great role models.

Our children’s martial arts classes are fast paced, action packed, educational and motivational. Kids love Karate and parents love watching their children learn and grow in a positive, disciplined and encouraging environment.

Every class is filled with exciting fun, high energy martial arts exercises that are carefully designed to help children build important life skills. Classes start simple and gradually become more challenging based on each children’s individual pace and readiness for the new techniques. All lessons are based on positive recognition, reward and reinforcement for effort, skill, courtesy, sportsmanship and respectful treatment of others.

Self confidence and Self Esteem are built in a gradual step-by-step process. Martial Arts training builds a strong foundation that can easily be applied to a school work, sports, arts and social settings outside the martial arts class.

Learning the fundamentals of self defence will boost your child's self esteem and confidence

Your child's ability to listen and follow instructions will improve with every class.

We'll teach your child how to stop the bully in their tracks with a practical effective anti bullying lessons.

Your child will feel strong and positive as they move through the belt levels.

School pressure, peer pressure, instilling proper values, demanding extra school curricular activities.

I understand what parents like you are having to deal with these days. I have met hundreds of parents just like you, and I have to say it can be challenging time being a child these days.

Many parents I speak to are dealing with these 21st Century demands as well as they can, but sometimes the signs of the pressure children feel are obvious. When new children come into our classes we often see:

It’s not usually malicious, they just have a really difficult time focusing.

Eyes looking down at the floor, shoulders forward, frozen in fear.

Parents often see this as a lack of respect (it’s NOT it more a lack of confidence, but it’s’ still important to overcome)

It’s really difficult for children to see past the “now” and keep at something consistent.

It can all change within a few months. Parents say they can see their children learn:

Confidence, especially what they learn in our karate classes, is the difference between what a child can actually do vs what they think they can do. You will see them act more and more confident and you’ll see them take on new challenges both inside and outside of our martial arts schools with a sense of drive and purpose.

If your child is ever in a situation where they need to use self defence skills against a bully who is physically trying to push, punch or kick them. Then they will have the ability and confidence to apply these self defence techniques. Also, they will have the techniques, ability and confidence to deal with verbal abuse, this is much more common than physical bullying.

The most important thing your child will get from our martial arts classes is a tremendous positive sense of self worth. They will be able to objectively look at things they need to improve such homework, family relations and physical effort. Without feeling useless, and they’ll take pride in the things they get correct without discounting or minimising their own achievements.

If you want your children to not only stay but improve their health, they have to enjoy good hard physical exercise. Our classes are exciting and fun, your child will love coming to each class. They’ll actually love doing the press ups, star jumps and stretching exercises. They will take pride in their increased flexibility and endurance, and they will leave every class sweating, smiling and learning.
