A specialised series of self-defense courses created by renowned child safety expert and martial arts grandmaster Farshad Azad, built for children and teenagers at every developmental stage.
Real Physical Combative Skills for Self-Protection
CAPE gives children and parents genuine physical skills, not theory. Courses are available online, in person, and as live virtual training over Zoom for real time remote instruction.
Self-Defense for Young Children
Give your children the confidence and skills they need to stay safe from potential threats. This fun and engaging course teaches children how to identify and respond to dangerous situations using age appropriate mental, physical, and emotional techniques.
Through interactive games, role playing scenarios, and positive reinforcement, we empower your little ones to make informed decisions, trust their gut instinct, protect their personal space, and seek help when they need it.
- Identify and respond to danger with a clear understanding of what a threat looks like, turning fear into confident action.
- Use mindset, voice, and body language for self-safeguarding, including saying no loudly and firmly, then reporting it immediately.
- Develop fast physical skills to escape or deter an attacker, breaking free from grasps, traps, and holds and using effective strikes to get away.
- Recognise common predator tricks used to isolate and manipulate children, such as offering treats or asking a child for help.
Equip your children with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the world safely. Enrol today and watch your child transform into a self-assured little superhero.
Self-Defense for Middle Childhood
As children transition into middle childhood, their understanding of the world and their place within it evolves. This course addresses the unique needs and vulnerabilities of children aged 8 to 12, providing advanced self-defense strategies tailored to their growing physical and cognitive abilities.
- More advanced physical techniques. Children learn sophisticated self-defense moves and deterrents, plus knowledge of their natural body weapons, designed specifically to incapacitate and deter teen or adult attackers.
