I was just like you—a woman with little or no self defence skills, often feeling vulnerable in everyday situations. Like so many women, I wanted to feel safe and confident, but I didn’t know where to start.
Today, I feel empowered and prepared to handle real-life situations, all thanks to practical, straightforward techniques that have completely changed my approach to personal safety.
Now, I walk with confidence, knowing I have the skills to protect myself, and that’s what I want to share with you.
The biggest lesson I learned along the way? You don’t need years of martial arts training, complex techniques, or extreme fitness levels to protect yourself effectively. With the right guidance, any woman can develop the mindset and practical skills to feel safe, secure, and confident.
And that’s why I teamed up with Dene Josham, a 30+ years security expert, to create 7 Day Self Defence for Women, the only affordable, practical self defence course designed to teach you everything you need in just 7 days.
It’s all about giving women like us the real-life tools to feel empowered.
I know you’re wondering if this course will truly make a difference. Since we started Streetwise Defence, we’ve seen thousands of women transform their lives, building unshakable confidence and practical skills faster than they ever expected.
I can’t wait for you to experience that same confidence and strength. JOIN US, and let’s take this empowering journey together!
My name is Dene Josham, lead instructor at Streetwise Defence and co-creator of 7 Day Self Defence for Women.
With over 30 years in high-level security roles, I’ve had the honour of working in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
From my early days in the Marines, to working as an A-list bodyguard (Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe) and elite security consultant, I’ve spent my life mastering effective, no-nonsense techniques for real-world protection.
Over the years, I’ve trained countless professionals in practical safety skills, consulted on security strategy for high-profile clients, and built a toolkit of techniques that genuinely work in high-stakes situations.
But here’s what I’ve learned: most traditional self defence programs rely on flashy, overly complex moves that don’t work when seconds count.
Real self defence should be straightforward, practical, and accessible to everyone.
When I joined forces with Julie to create 7 Day Self Defence for Women, we knew we wanted a course that would bring my professional insights to women everywhere, without the need for prior experience or martial arts training.
This course combines my field-tested techniques with Julie’s personal experiences as a woman, allowing us to offer a unique blend of expertise and relatability.
I understand you might be questioning whether this course will truly make a difference for you. Since launching, we’ve witnessed countless women build powerful, practical skills in just 7 days, transforming their sense of safety and confidence.
I’m excited to guide you through this journey, equipping you with skills that can empower you in any situation.
Join us, and let’s make your safety—and confidence—a priority.

We surveyed 3,000+ Streetwise Defence students to understand the impact of our programs, asking them to rate their self defence skills and confidence from 1 to 10 before and after completing our training.
Here’s what they shared:
Even people highly skilled in martial arts benefit from this course as it offers a unique take on self protection.
Once you enroll, you’ll have unlimited access to the course—complete it at your own pace, whenever you like, on any device.
The program is designed with 7 days of focused self defence training and daily exercises, so you can develop essential skills in just a week or revisit anytime for a confidence boost.
YouTube is filled with self defence tutorials, but most of them are impractical, macho demonstrations that don’t work in real-life situations—and some are even dangerous.
While YouTube offers endless free content, relying on it alone can waste hours searching for partial answers and unsafe advice.
Without a structured, step-by-step approach, it’s hard to build real skills that you can trust in everyday situations.
If you’re serious about learning effective, safe self defence, 7 Day Self Defence for Women
is the answer.
Our course gives you proven, real-world techniques in an organized, easy-to-follow program, specifically created for women—saving you time, frustration, and the risk of misinformation.
For many, that’s invaluable peace of mind...
You don't even need to practice the physical moves, you can learn just from watching the videos!
There's no macho BS here - we are trauma-trained and focus on avoiding a physical response above all else. That's why so much of our training is on prevention.
You don't need to worry about going out to inconvenient weekly classes for months (or years!) on end - you can learn everything you need online in just a week.
Many women have found themselves in this exact situation!
They’ve tried martial arts or local self defence classes, only to come away feeling even more anxious, unsure if the techniques would hold up in real-life situations, worried they’d forget them, or simply overwhelmed.
Don't worry - we get it! That's precisely why we developed 7 Day Self Defence for Women.
DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that the self defence techniques you learn and/or practice at home are physical moves that carry some risk. We will show you the correct way to carry them out in order to minimise any potential injury. We ask everyone to be aware of this potential risk and to only do what feels comfortable with your body when training. We hope that you never have to use a physical response in real life but if you do then you should be aware that you could potentially injure yourself and the attacker. We recommend that your physical response is proportionate to the threat and the need to keep yourself safe. The physical responses we teach can have a devastating impact on the assailant, necessarily so in a life or death scenario, but they should be used wisely and with caution. We ask everyone to take personal responsibility for their actions and the potential legal implications of a response that is disproportionate to the situation. If you’re not willing to accept that, please DO NOT PURCHASE The 7 Day Self Defence for Women Program.
