...Self defence for the REAL world!
Our focus is simple: To help keep you and your loved ones safe against real world violence. That's it.
 We offer regular group self defence classes, seminars and private tuition to men and women from all walks of life, in a friendly, positive and safe training environment.
Protect realistically addresses the physical as well as the often-neglected psychological and emotional components of violent confrontations. Our principles are based on natural patterns of psychological & physical defenses, as well as human behaviour in relation to extreme violence, aggression, desperation, drugs and alcohol.
Protect is not a martial art. There are no belts, no uniforms, no memorised movements, no competitions and no politics.
For men and women from all walks of life... Protect is the self defence system for everyone!
Protect's physical arsenal is complete in covering all ranges of physical defence. Close Quarter Combat, ground fighting, grappling, boxing, and kicking tools are fundamentally explored and trained in an "Alive" manner.
Our primary goal is to enhance awareness and understanding of the dynamics of violence and provide people with the tools to avoid, defuse, or physically defend themselves against violent or aggressive situations. Our group classes also have an additional focus on improving health, fitness and conditioning. Protect also extensively deals with the pre-contact stages of a violent confrontation including situational awareness, fear, adrenaline and stress management. In addition verbal tactics, manipulation of human behaviour in relation to violence, problem solving through role playing scenario replications as well as the aftermath including the moral, ethical and legal implications of defending oneself are part of our training curriculum.
 Protect's unique system of personal protection is based largely on Richard Dimitri's Senshido, one of the most sought after methods of personal protection worldwide. Taught to law enforcement, military personnel, defence tactics instructors, Special Forces personnel, martial artists and the general public worldwide. Protect will provide you with a real, effective, proven system to help protect you and your loved ones.
Protect's founders, Phil & Athena Thompson are New Zealand's only officially approved Senshido instructors and are fully approved to teach Senshido concepts and methodology, including the revolutionary Shredder concept.
Protect's technical applications are based on a pragmatic methodology where every aspect of this system is in direct compliance with the physiological rules that govern the human body. Not only have the technical applications been tried, trained and tested but they have been successfully used by law enforcement officers, security personnel and everyday men and women worldwide to keep themselves safe and survive and escape from violent situations. Well trained professionals in high risk professions have stated that they have learned more about real self defence in a five hour seminar with us than in a life time of combative training.
Protect's concepts and methods are applicable right away, making it...
A system for everyone!
