Welcome to The SAFE Perspective

For more than 30 years, SAFE Violence Prevention & Self Defence has been dedicated to helping everyday people stay safe — not by turning them into fighters, but by giving them the awareness, confidence, and tools to prevent violence before it starts.

This blog — The SAFE Perspective — is a space where we’ll share insights, stories, and practical tips from those three decades of work. Whether you’re a self-defence instructor, a parent, a school leader, or someone who simply wants to feel more in control of their personal safety — this is for you.

We won’t be posting flashy techniques or staged demos here.
We’ll be talking about what really matters:

• Why prevention should always come before reaction

• How to connect with students beyond drills

• The myths that keep people stuck in fear

• What most self-defence training misses entirely

• And how to teach (or learn) self-protection that actually sticks

We believe the best instructors and safety advocates are also students — constantly listening, adjusting, and learning.

This blog isn’t about selling a course. It’s about offering perspective — and hopefully sparking better conversations around personal safety.

Thanks for reading, and welcome.
If you’ve got a story, question, or lesson you’d like us to explore here — reach out anytime.

Keep SAFE!
