Master our world-class fighting system at our martial arts school near Kingston and Norbiton

I started Defence Lab in November and I am really enjoying it! The class has a great atmosphere and it is a lot of fun. Over the past few months, my fitness levels have improved a great deal and I have also learnt some valuable self defence techniques. One of the brilliant things about Defence Lab is that it is all geared towards real life situations, meaning that all of the techniques make common sense. Tahir is a fantastic instructor; he pushes you to work as hard as you can, but also gives you tons of encouragement and lots of helpful feedback. I would recommend to anyone of any age or fitness level!

Cannot speak highly enough of Tahir (lead instructor) and his methods of training. My 11 year old daughter started here in December and her enthusiasm show’s no bounds! The whole training ethos has had such a positive impact on her. Training can be hard but is always fun and teaches everyone respect and the value of looking out for not just yourself but friends as well. I can highly recommend this class to anyone interested in getting fitter, having fun and learning skills to take forward in life. Come along, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!!!

My son loves Defence Lab. I had previously tried him on karate and kick boxing and he never really took to them. Defence Lab is taught in a much more fun way for children, all the while they are staying fit, learning how to look after themselves (from multiple attackers) and learning respect. I think a class like this is invaluable, especially in this day and age. I will feel much more confident of Daniel going out as he gets older knowing that if necessary, he will have the tools to be able to look after himself. Tahir is a wonderful teacher and is just fantastic with the kids. I can’t recommend Defence Lab highly enough!!!!!

What can I say! I have tried a few martial arts classes here and there, but never felt satisfied. There was always a question in my mind saying what if the other person does this? Or does that? What will save you then? All these questions are easily answered in DL. DL does not only teach you real life situation, but also a real life situation with multiple attackers! Since joining, my fitness level has improved, I have more confidence on the street, if I ever need to react. It couldn’t be put any better: “We study violence so as to escape it, prevent it, and if all else fails, utilise it ourselves to survive.” Highly recommend it to all age groups! Thank you Tahir and Defence Lab!

I started my Martial Arts lessons as a teenager with Karate, then moved onto Kung Fu, then Thai Boxing and finally MMA. However, learning Defence Lab has been a complete shift in style and perspective regarding self-defence. Out of all the martial arts I had done in the past, this by far is the most realistic and catered for street self-defence. The concept of multiple opponents, and in particular the use of elbows and attack/defence at the same time is invaluable. For anyone wanting to learn how to defend themselves in real life situations, this is the class to join.

My 3 children go to Defence Lab and they just can’t get enough. They are always excited to go and looking forward to the next class. The instructors are just amazing and what they teach is an incredible self defence system that goes into all aspects of personal safety and self defence. To know that the children are learning something this is designed for real life as opposed to competition is very reassuring as a parent. Despite being new, I love the fact the classes hold onto the traditional values of respect, honour, humbles and integrity. The life skills that they teach are a great bonus and I’m not the only parent who has seen positive changes in the children. I would recommend Defence Lab to anyone. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
