Universal Self Defence - Martial Arts Techniques

Universal Self Defence and martial arts techniques are taken from various self-defence courses conducted by Master Peter Burke and the Universal Self-Defence Academy for men, women and children of different ages and skill levels and are taught under controlled conditions with strict supervision by experienced instructors.

We are happy to share our knowledge but only as general advise to be taken at your own risk as it may not apply to your circumstances and most likely you need to seek personalized instruction from an experienced self defence or martial arts instructor or preferably come along and enjoy one of our classes!
