Building safe, confident, and resilient kids for life.
Welcome to Terrier Defence Academy
At Terrier Defence Academy, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, confident, and ready to face the world. Unlike traditional martial arts schools that focus only on sport or competition, our Saturday morning classes are dedicated to children’s self-protection and self-defence.
Core Tenants
Awareness First (Self-Protection)
Teaching children to recognise danger, set boundaries, and avoid conflict before it begins.
“The best fight is the one you don’t have to be in.”
Stand Strong (Self-Defence)
Giving kids practical, age-appropriate skills to protect themselves if confronted by bullies or unsafe situations.
“Confidence to act, skills to stay safe.”
Build Character (Confidence & Teamwork)
Developing resilience, courage, respect, and self-discipline through structured training.
“Stronger kids, stronger futures.”
