Now, Dene teaches self defence via in-person workshops and he is your instructor on our online courses.
Course Curriculum
"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 free mini course gives you a brief insight into the importance of self defence of the body and the mind."

A mum's view
“I cannot recommend Streetwise Defence training highly enough. The essential training all girls/women need to enable confidence that they have the methods to protect themselves if they’re ever in a situation where control is taken from them.
Dene presents an honest and straightforward method that’s easy to remember without any unnecessary detail to complicate things (no martial arts here!). We booked the session for our daughters in readiness for them heading to university in big cities but, as mums in our mid-40s, this was an eye-opener and training that will benefit us all.”
