Women's Self-Defence Perth — Workshops, Corporate Training & The Book | WSDP
Next Workshop · Sat 1 August · 9:00–10:30am

Real self-defence. Built for women.

Practical training that works for a smaller person against someone bigger and stronger — because every technique was shaped by women, then tested against exactly that. Workshops, workplace workshops, and the book.

Most self-defence is built for men, then watered down for women. We do the opposite.

Every technique we teach was shaped by women's experiences, then pressure-tested against larger, stronger training partners. If it relied on strength, it was redesigned. If it only worked because someone cooperated, it was removed.

Our approach

If it needs strength, it doesn't make the cut.

WSDP didn't start as a martial art with the intensity turned down. We started by listening to women — what worried them, what stopped them walking into a class, and what would genuinely make them feel more capable. Then every technique had to earn its place.

  • ✓Awareness first — recognising a situation early gives you more choices
  • ✓Your voice second — boundaries resolve most situations before they escalate
  • ✓Technique last — simple, practical, and effective under pressure
  • ✓Small groups always — confidence isn't built at the back of a crowded room

I came not knowing anyone and left feeling like I could handle myself. Genuinely changes how you move through the world.
Jess P.Past seminar participant · North Perth
I bought it for my daughter before she moved out. We ended up going through it together.
AmieYokine
No fitness, no experience, and I still kept up the whole time. Everything was at my own pace.
DanniScarborough
I finally understand why the techniques work, not just how. It's the first time self-defence has made sense to me.
PriyaMount Lawley
Calm, practical, and never intimidating. I came alone and left having booked the next one with a friend.

Not sure where to start?

Most women start with a seminar. If a Saturday doesn't work, start with the book. If it's for your team, we'll come to you.
