FOR ALL
Soteria was founded with one goal in mind - to make self-defence accessible to everyone. This meant building a unique system from scratch that was simple, realistic, effective and could be delivered anywhere.
Here’s how we did it:
SIMPLE - Our system is easy to remember in the heat of the moment, constructed of easy-to-perform techniques that can be learnt and executed by anyone in as little as 1 hour
REALISTIC - We based our system on common self-defence scenarios adapting traditional martial arts techniques for real-world application. We even offer bespoke solutions meaning that whatever situations are causing anxiety to you or the people you care about we will work with you to provide the answers you need.
EFFECTIVE - We’re unique in that we designed our entire system from a woman's point of view. Using mathematical mechanics principles to ensure they work against bigger, stronger attackers.
MOBILE - We can teach from anywhere, whether it’s in our gym or your place of work ensuring even the busiest of people can participate.

ABOUT US
Soteria (Greek: Σωτηρία) was the goddess or spirit (daimon) of safety and salvation, deliverance, and preservation from harm. Soteria was also an epithet of the goddesses Persephone and Hecate, meaning deliverance and safety. We take that feeling of safety to the next level.
