I have helped to develop this course so it’s suitable for workplaces. It’s perfect for those working in hospitality where you have staff going home late at night, it’s also suitable for lone workers and anyone who wants to gain confidence in self defence. Please can you share with your colleagues. We have made it a as low a cost as possible so more accessible to SMEs.

THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED - In today's fast-paced and dynamic world, it is more crucial than ever for businesses to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of their employees. At New Leaf, we understand the importance of creating a supportive and secure work environment, which is why we are proud to announce our bespoke self defence training workshops for businesses.

You can book one employee or more on this open course. If you work in hospitality and you have staff walking home after dark or have lone workers this course is for you.

Our comprehensive training covers a wide range of topics, including de-escalation techniques, threat awareness, understanding the effects of adrenaline on the body, identifying potential attackers and their behavior patterns, risk assessment, and the legal aspect of self defence.

It is essential to equip employees with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves in any circumstance, and our workshops are designed to do just that. No prior experience in martial arts or self defence training is required, making it accessible to everyone in your organisation.

Prioritising employee safety and wellbeing not only fosters a positive work culture but also boosts confidence and productivity.

This workshop is delivered by Mental Health First Aider Mike Higgins. Mike has been practicing martial arts for 21 years holding the rank of 2nd degree black belt in Aikido, Iaido and 1st degree black belt in Ao Denkou Jutsu, training & teaching throughout the UK, Europe & Japan.

Becky Wright New Leaf Life Design is holding a well-being walk on Saturday 3rd September across The Quantocks in Somerset. It’s free to all those who work as sole traders or have SMEs in the care sector. It will be a creative journey from coast to countryside through drawing, mark-making, and cameraphone photography. Along this inspiring journey, as we walk in the footsteps of the Romantic Poets, you will explore historic mark-making processes with a variety of materials taken from the natural surroundings. Learn how to make your own paintbrushes from feathers, grind your own pigment, write with charcoal ink, and capture your creativity with raw, organic materials. You will also use their cameraphones to capture a visual diary of the day.
