Highly recommend Defense Lab Stafford for any beginner. Tried out a free taster session whilst in the area. Enjoyed it so much I did 6 more sessions over 8 days! Very welcoming, modern & professional yet also family friendly set up, and excellent teaching. Great for all round fitness too. Hopefully Defense Lab continues to expand to more places. More...

I have been going to the ladies extreme kickboxing Bootcamp for the last 5-6 months and I absolutely love it. I started going to vary my exercises from my typical weight training routines and have honestly noticed a massive difference physically and mentally. I can endure and push myself so much more than I ever could before! The classes are so intense, motivating and fun! I used to dread anything cardio based before but now I look forward to it. Couldn’t recommend more! More...

An excellent experience to undertake, I spent 10 years learning and teaching taekwondo then after starting Defence Lab with Paul Shears I realised it's not about kicking and punching and pretty patterns, it's about protecting your head and with simple shapes it's easy. Have been with them 2 years nearly now and have learn't so much, people think that age will stop you. Well I'm 51 and love it so take a plunge and give it a go. More...

Fab teachers, who are very patient and understanding with the younger children. My 6yr old son is very fidgety and loses interest very quickly with a lot of things. This group however, has kept his interest, while teaching him important life lessons, as well as the self defence training. He looks forward to coming to each session. (So much so, that he'll turn down party invites, just so he doesn't miss a training session). More...

Fantastic with my son who has Autism and struggle to settle and concentrate and needs short sentences to understand, I would say he is doing really well and they do take time and have patience to explain and encourage him giving him that motivation and confidence he needs. He loves coming to yours classes and was very surprised how settled and listened very quietly which normally hard for him. My little girl loves it too. Thanks guys More...

I would highly recommend Defence Lab. My 9 year old and 6 year old both attend and thoroughly enjoy themselves at the same time as learning the moves and practising the techniques. My daughter has gone from being very shy and not wanting me to leave her to running in the classroom without even saying a goodbye in a matter of weeks. Liam, Beth and Mark are fantastic and very down to earth and i couldnt wish for better instuctors to teach my children. Thanks for tiring them out More...

I’ve been attending this class since the beginning of April and I really would recommend it to anyone interested in self defence & fitness. Catering to different ability levels, there’s something for everyone at this class. The instructors & students are friendly and welcoming to new-comers, and there is a sense of camaraderie amongst the group. With classes in Bracknell, & Reading it’s really convenient to train. And with the first session free of charge it’s well worth coming along to check it out. More...

Q&As

I like the fact that people get what they want from our classes, it might be a police officer training as what we do makes sense to him and can help in situations, a mum and daughter who want to get fit and build confidence, they may feel vulnerable sometimes, and don't want to feel a target, when we get the feed back and they say they feel better it's great. Or someone who's shifted that stubborn weight but said they've enjoyed doing it, and learned self defence in the process and are still learning something that is valuable, going to the gym is not he only way to get toned.

I personally wanted to give back to people and my passion is martial arts, after working in many places I wanted to work for myself and have job satisfaction, seeing how you can change someone for the positive always made me feel good. So for me this is something that is very rewarding, and you make so many good friends from teaching martial arts

Well they should make there own mind up, but regardless of what you've tried before you should give Defence lab a try ! It's amazing, positive and does things a bit different, it gets you thinking again, we like to get people asking what if ? And enjoying the classes and achieving things that they may have never thought they would be doing or could do. So come along and give us a try.. Its all about you and your goals
