Safety & Awareness Self-Defence Training with Yan Sophokleous

Discover a unique, legal, and highly effective approach to self-defence—rooted in natural movement, real-life scenarios, and sensory intelligence. My workshops and courses across the UK empower you to unlock your body’s instinctive responses through NPPRs: Natural Protective Positions and Responses.

You’ll explore essential skills for today’s world, including:

Verbal, Postural, Physical & Psychological (VPs) strategies
Escapes, strikes, and defence against weapons
Grounded, standing, and transitional positioning
Legal boundaries and what really works under pressure
Everyday items as tools for protection

Training is inclusive, interactive, and built on lived experience. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, you’ll gain confidence, clarity, and control—mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Let’s work together to unlock the strength you already have. Contact me directly to join or learn more.

Frequently asked questions

Can we come and learn together as a family?

Yes—this is deeply encouraged. When shared with others, the workshop becomes a mirror, revealing facets of your character that daily life may overlook. It’s a space for connection, reflection, and embodied memory. Practicing together not only anchors the teachings, but also weaves them into your col

Is it for me? What if I've never trained before?

Yes, of course. From foundational learners to advanced movers, everyone is welcome. I tailor each approach to support your anatomical intelligence and personal learning style—ensuring the experience is both accessible and deeply transformative.

If I don't want to engage in some of the lesson, can I just watch?

Yes, of course. Sometimes the most profound insights come from simply watching. Stepping back gives you space to absorb the dynamics, notice subtle shifts, and reflect while others are actively engaged.

What clothing would be best to wear for your workshop?

Dress as you normally would—what feels natural, comfortable, and true to you. This is about real-world readiness, not performance. The clothes you wear daily are the ones you’d likely be in during a moment of self-defence. All styles, all expressions are welcome here.
