I would highly recommend Unleash Self Defence to anyone interested. The instructors are very knowledgeable, really reassuring and made me feel really welcome as a beginner. I felt nervous as I’d never done anything like it before but they set me at ease quickly ☺️Keep up the great work guys!

My son (7) has been going for about a year and loves it! Tehseen is great with the kids, perfectly judging the right level of fun and teaching for them. The classes encompass a nice range of real-world techniques for their age group (blocking, punches, kicks, wrestling) that they can easily get to grips with, and through repeated practice build up speed and confidence. He especially loves the wrestling 🙂

My daughter has been training with Defence Lab for almost an year and what a boost in her confidence I can see! In the classes she successfully learns new skills for life, maintains a great fitness and creates new friendships. Instructors combine friendliness and strictness at the right level, which I appreciate. I have recommended Defence Lab to all my friends.

I highly recommend Defence Lab, my children and husband really look forward to their weekly training, and to be honest, it’s the only club that they have all wanted to continue! My teenager actually gets ready for class each week without us having to ask him which is a rarity in our house as prior to starting training, we could never get him to put his phone down! Most of all, I love seeing their confidence increase a bit more each week that they attend. They all come home from classes wanting to tell me everything that they have learnt! Thank you Defence Lab, you are amazing!

My daughter has learnt many self defence techniques in the past couple of months since she joined here, compared to what she learnt over a year at another place. We love how they also focus on building the children’s confidence, and have seen our daughter become more confident too; which we attribute to the class. Highly recommend this club!

My two girls joined Farhaj’s Friendly and welcoming class and loved it. Unfortunately they only attended for a couple of months because of clashing commitments, but I would recommend this class for anyone looking to build confidence and camaraderie.

We joined Defence Lab in January '24 because my son was being bullied at school, had no confidence and didn't want to share much with us or with the teachers. And so we decided that things need to change and luckily we found Defence Lab training online.Farhaj, his daughters and the rest of the team from Team STORM @ Defence Lab Training have been amazing with both of my children (age 11 & 8) and we would highly recommend them.The team takes time before and after each class to have a quick catch up with each child and find out how they are feeling and how their week's been. That shows how much they care about their students and that what they do it's not just a job.My children love attending Defence Lab classes and in the short amount of time they've been training, we`ve noticed a massive improvement in their confidence, attitude and communicational skills. These positive changes have been recognised by their teachers at school which makes me even more proud of them.Thank you Farhaj + team for all of your dedication and hard work 💪 💪💪

My daughter has been attending defense lab since the start of the year after attending a free taster session and absolutely loves it. She enjoys the training and loves practicing and showing the new moves she picks up weekly. Tehseen is brilliant with the group and clearly enjoys passing on the knowledge he has. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much Defence Lab for coming to our club and sharing your knowledge with us! The teenagers in our Youth club were very engaged and enjoyed the work out. Your instructors used some fantastic and very appropriate scenarios which highlighted the importance of self defence to our young people. Our youth club will definitely be calling on The Defence Club for another session in the future!

Excellent classes. The team will challenge your limits whilst remaining respectful and the sessions are very insightful. I’m on session 4 and have already learned so much! Great way to keep fit and learn how to defend yourself in practical situations

Caz Morgan

Defence lab uses mixed martial arts in the form of self-defence for all ages.My child has been attending for well over a year now and having signed up due to shyness and lack of confidence, I can now say it’s helped his confidence quite a lot and I can rest easy knowing he can defend himself if he needed to, he’s already put it to the test on his friends during a Judo vs MMA fight. He won.The instructors are approachable and accommodating, teach them discipline and good form until they get it right but still have fun in doing so.I would sign myself up if I had the funds and fitness.

Great self defense classes for children and adults with a mixture of martial arts techniques, cherry picked to be used in real life scenarios. Highly recommend 👌

Kerrigan Wild

What can I say? I really like this training; the tutors are well experienced, friendly, and patient fortunately!What I really like is the science behind it all; it's been very well thought through and the reason for each attach and counter measure is explained; I would definitely recommend gicing this a go. In fact come to the Teddington sessions and I'll see you there! Not for a fight you understand - for the training 😉

Friendly people. Very realistic fighting system for self defence. Looking forward to the next classUPDATE: I recently took my two children and they loved it.My eldest son has autism, Farhan was very patient and encouraging.My daughter loved it and they both had an enormous amount to fun.Highly recommend Defence Lab as a student and parent.My daughter also commented that she prefer DL to Taekwondo because she thinks DL would actually work if she were ever bullied at school.

This is one of the best classes you will ever gift to your son or daughter. They will build their confidence, learn invaluable defence skills (real-life, actionable, street defence skills) in a disciplined but very fun way. My son does not skip this class under any condition, he absolutely loves it. The coaches have an impressive approach in keeping the kids engaged, focused and wanting to get better week on week.I highly recommend DL training with Tahir and the team.

Haris Malik

I have trained in several martial art systems over the years, but since learning the Defence Lab System I appreciate how reality base focused it is for the modern world. If you want to learn a system that's efficient, effective and practical, then Defence Lab is all you need.

Daniel Bailey

My 7 year old joined this when she was 6 at the beginning of the year and says it’s her favourite class she does.she was so nervous and scared before she joined but after the first friendly session she loved it and her confidence has also grown from going to the classes.

Charlotte Rawlings

1689424663

This is a great class, the instructors are great with the kids making sure it’s still fun as well as teaching them some valuable skills. My 9 year old daughter loves the training and is already so much more confident than she was in just a matter of weeks. Highly recommend this!

Really excellent training! Farhaj and the other instructors are so knowledgeable and make learning something tricky really easy! Classes are a lot of fun, and at the same time teach some serious skills!

Nicole Jones

1686405579

My 10 year old daughter has only been going a few weeks but I’ve already noticed such a difference in her, she was very shy and reluctant to join DL but she gave it a go and I’m amazed how her confidence has grown. She looks forward to going every week and has learnt so much already as well as having lots of fun and making new friends. Her instructor is brilliant and really knows how to bring out the best in the students.

Farhaj is highly skilled and the age appropriate curriculum focused on practical self- defence techniques. Our daughters learned valuable skills, and had a blast!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in a self-defense class, and tge experience was transformative. The knowledge and skills I gained have not only boosted my confidence but have also given me a greater sense of personal safety and security. I would highly recommend these self-defense classes to anyone looking to enhance their personal well-being and self-assurance.From the moment I stepped into the class, I was greeted by a team of dedicated instructors who radiated enthusiasm and expertise. Their passion for teaching self-defense was evident, and their ability to create a supportive and inclusive environment was exceptional. Regardless of age, gender, or fitness level, every participant was treated with respect and given equal attention.One of the aspects that truly stood out to me was the comprehensive curriculum. The classes covered a wide range of techniques, including effective strikes, blocks, and holds, as well as practical strategies for real-life situations. The instructors took the time to explain the reasoning behind each technique and ensured that we understood the underlying principles. It was evident that their goal was to equip us with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect ourselves in any potential threats.
