Train seeking the pleasure of Allah, with salah and Islamic principles coming before training.
Mosque-based training network
Muslim Self Defence
Train with purpose, build useful skills and help strengthen Muslim communities through safe, disciplined self-defence training.
What we are building
One network, local mosque communities
Each participating mosque can have its own training timetable, local WhatsApp group, prayer information, photo gallery and equipment fund — while staying connected to the wider network.
How we train
Purpose before ego
Build the ability to protect yourself and others without showing off, bullying or unnecessary harm.
Train with humility, control and respect. Look after your training partners and help each other improve.
Technique and control come before power. Sessions should be appropriate to the experience of the people taking part.
Full training guidelines are kept with the training programme and at each participating location where relevant.
