Brighton Self-Defence – Martial Arts Brighton The Choi foundation Self-defence Classes

Empower Yourself. Protect Your Family. Build Confidence.

Brighton Self-Defence is part of the global Choi Kwang Do Martial Art International network. We teach practical self-defence, boost fitness, and build confidence—for children, adults, and families.

We believe that learning self-defence is one of the most valuable life skills you can give yourself and your family. Our classes go beyond physical techniques—you’ll gain the confidence, awareness, and resilience to handle real-life challenges.

Whether it’s helping a child stand up to bullies or giving adults the skills to deal with threatening situations, our training prepares you to avoid, de-escalate, and—only if necessary—defend yourself effectively.

As the saying goes: It’s better to have self-defence skills and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

Why Choose Brighton Self-Defence?

Our classes combine practical self-defence, fitness training, and a positive community atmosphere. You’ll learn:

Effective strikes, kicks, and escape tactics from common holds
Situational awareness and avoidance strategies
How to stay calm, confident, and in control under pressure

And the best part? Training with us gives you a fun, high-energy workout that tones muscles, improves stamina, and melts away stress.
