Empowering Women

RESPOND EMPOWER LIBERATE

ARMD provides Personal Protection and Self-Defence programs whose primary aim is not to teach techniques and strategies, but to teach universal knowledge and awareness of human communication that will empower women in ensuring their own safety --- whatever the strategy .

 

ARMD operates on the belief that self-awareness, confidence and communication with others is the key to keeping oneself and others safe, and techniques and strategies, though also important, are secondary.

RESPOND EMPOWER LIBERATE

OUR MISSION

To empower women and the community through personal safety education, self-defence training, and violence prevention strategies, fostering confidence, resilience, and security.

Our program is suitable for all fitness levels and has been developed specifically for women. No prior knowledge of self-defence is required.

A lot of the self-defence taught was easy to pick up and was very practical. I was able to perform the basic techniques in less than 2 seconds! I also loved the concept of being able to control the situation without using strength or force whether standing or on the ground. The class was fun and exciting but most importantly, I learned a lot!

I felt empowered after the workshop and it has really taught me to be aware of my surroundings.  Having such a professional team instruct me on the tips and techniques of how to defend myself if needed has given me added confidence, and this workshop is something all females should attend.

I cannot speak highly enough of the value that this workshop provided for this group of women.  We were provided with a great range of strategies as to what we can do, including verbal and physical tactics, if confronted by unsolicited attention.

The amazing element of this program was the format with which it was presented. The structure allowed participants ranging in age from 18 to 67 years of age, to engage with activities and the information presented due to its currency and pertinence.  Feedback from every participant was extremely positive, indicating that they believed that they would be confident to apply the range of strategies practiced during the session.

Thank you to David Bardos and his support team.
