Shanmai Self-Defence
Accessible, Effective, and Grounded in Reality
What is the Shanmai Self-Defence?
The Shanmai Martial Arts self-defence program is built on the principles of Wing Chun and Escrima, enriched by years of real-world experience and training with experts.
It offers a complete, progressive approach designed to be realistic, motivating, and enjoyable to practise. Instruction combines prevention, stress and conflict management, and the learning of simple, fast, and effective techniques.
You will develop useful reflexes to anticipate danger, defuse tension, and respond with precision when needed. Classes also include a practical toolbox for dealing with real-life situations such as grabs or immobilization attempts, as well as training with weapons and everyday objects at advanced levels.
Accessible to everyone, this program adapts to your pace and goals in a supportive and safe environment. It builds confidence, stability, and the joy of movement, while preparing you to face the unexpected with calm and efficiency.
