On the increase
There were 911 reports of sexual assaults against women in Norfolk in the year ending March 2020.
That is one every three days and compares to 493 in the year ending March 2016, and increase of 85%. EDP March 28,
Close to Home
There has also recently been reports on FaceBook of women being confronted and asked for sex, followed by being exposed to in the Taverham/Thorpe Marriott area, so it is closer to home than you think.
Research shows that those women who undertook self defence training, even for brief periods of time, were more likely to avoid being raped and were more likely to be aware of danger earlier then people who had had no such training.

Here to help you
BESAFE Self Defence Instructor is Btec Level 3 trained Self-Defence instructors, attended numerous courses including Rising 500 Women’s Self Defence and Managing & Understanding Violence, and has been taught by some of the worlds leading instructors in Self Protection.
Wayne has over 40 year martial arts experience and is a Violence Prevention & Management instructor working with social and predator violence.
Self - Protection Workshop
The Self-Protection workshops will teach you not to simply react to a provocation or encounter, but to take control of the possible threatening situation either by avoiding confrontation, diffusing the situation, or efficiently defending yourself to aid your safe escape.
You do not need to be a trained martial artist or a sporty person to attend and benefit from our self protection workshops.
They are designed for all that want to have the confidence to walk alone and not be afraid.
Our workshop consists of 3 aspects or the ABC’s of self-defence
A= Awareness
B= Boundary Setting
C= Confrontation
By covering these 3 aspects, the participant will have increased their confidence of what to do in an encounter.
But more importantly, would have lowered their risk of being encountered by a predator in the first place.
Just by attending a workshop, your awareness and reading of situations has decreased the chances of you being a target and a victim of violence.
This Workshop is aimed at ages 14+ due to its content.
Please note that explicit language is used within this workshop
BESAFE will be providing Self-Defence workshops to younger age groups soon.
Till then please see our Anti-Bullying Courses.

Boundary Setting
The use of Voice, Body Language and Eyes to ward of attacks, to de-escalate a situation and increasing opportunity to escape. Please note that profanity language and cursing may be used in practice and scenario training.
Confrontation
Since most altercations can be stopped by verbal boundaries, the use of physical defence is last resort, but it is also important.

The Law on the use of Self-defence.
In the UK, anyone can use reasonable force to protect themselves or others if a crime is taking place. This includes fighting back in self-defence if you’re attacked or tackling an intruder to the ground. If someone else is being attacked, you can use force to stop the assault and defend yourself in the process.
The defence of self-defence is one which can be and will be readily understood by any jury. It is a straightforward conception. It involves no abstruse legal thought. … Only common sense is needed for its understanding. It is both good law and good sense that a man who is attacked may defend himself. It is both good law and good sense that he may do, but may only do, what is reasonably necessary. But everything will depend upon the particular facts and circumstances. … It may in some cases be only sensible and clearly possible to take some simple avoiding action. Some attacks may be serious and dangerous. Others may not be. If there is some relatively minor attack it would not be common sense to permit some action of retaliation which was wholly out of proportion to the necessities of the situation. If an attack is serious so that it puts someone in immediate peril then immediate defensive action may be necessary. If the moment is one of crisis for someone in imminent danger he may have [to] avert the danger by some instant reaction. If the attack is all over and no sort of peril remains then the employment of force may be by way of revenge or punishment or by way of paying off an old score or may be pure aggression. There may no longer be any link with a necessity of defence… If a jury thought that in a moment of unexpected anguish a person attacked had only done what he honestly and instinctively thought was necessary that would be most potent evidence that only reasonable defensive action had been taken.
