Your course instructor
Dene Josham's background includes 20 years as a bodyguard to celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe, plus time spent working in private security in some of the world's most dangerous environments, including Iraq, Nigeria, Tunisia and Libya.
Dene has trained thousands of people in self defence and personal safety, including at schools, colleges, community groups and corporations.
"What has remained consistent throughout my career is the urge to protect people from harm. I know now that this stems back to childhood bullying and for the past 10 years I've been teaching self defence to corporates, students and private individuals so other people don't experience pain like I did.
I hope this training is beneficial to you and can prevent you from experiencing the trauma of an attack. Everyone has the right to feel safe and protect themselves from physical and emotional harm."

Student testimonials
“Dene from Streetwise Self Defence is awesome!! We had thought self defense meant being fit and knowing moves, but the most effective defense mentally is self awareness and physically the move seems obvious yet so effective. No previous experience or fitness required for that move. We will be contacting Dene again for a refresher course. Looking forward to it.”
Ms K.B.
“It was really helpful learning the different techniques on how to deal with situations, as well as different ways you can be grabbed and what to do. Also, learning we can defend ourselves before an actual strike when in danger.”

Frequently asked questions?
What if I’ve never done any self defence training before?
No problem! This course is intended for total beginners. You do not need any prior knowledge of self defence.
I already have training in martial arts or boxing, will I learn anything new?
Absolutely! We do not teach punching, kicking or martial arts. Most of what we teach is about psychology, awareness and advice on how to stay safe. The physical self defence moves we teach are based on special forces techniques.
Is the training mostly physical?
No. It is a mix of physical and psychological. We believe that self defence is 95% awareness and avoidance. Our goal is that through the education and advice we provide, will not find yourself in a dangerous situation because you can avoid it as much as possible.
Physical training is part of the course, and you can learn the self defence skills simply by watching the demonstrations. We also recommend that you practice them with someone - but carefully and in slow time without force.

“Surprised at how much more empowered I feel after just 3 hours! Thank you."
"This was so good and informative. I feel like it has completely changed my perspective in such a positive way. I used to disassociate from violence based on past experience but sitting in this session has challenged me to face the truth, which I think could be more empowering in the long run. Thank you!"
