Your people · Your priorities · Your plan
Choose a focused one-off workshop or a progressive bespoke programme for young people, adults or families. You set the priorities; StreetReady shapes the content and timetable around the people taking part.
Choose your training
Choose your group, then make the training yours. Go focused with one private workshop or build lasting capability across a bespoke programme.
Practical, age-appropriate skills that help young people feel capable without making them fearful.
A focused introduction, useful refresher or progressive course shaped around situations that matter to you.
Learn and practise together, creating shared habits and a safety plan the whole family understands.
What changes
This is not about memorising techniques or looking tough. It is about becoming more prepared to make good decisions when a situation feels wrong.
Read behaviour, surroundings and warning signs before pressure takes over.
Use posture, distance and a clear voice without feeling the need to apologise.
Think through adrenaline, avoid feeding the conflict and choose the safer next move.
Use movement and simple physical responses to make space, disengage and escape.
Leave with a practical plan for finding help, reporting concerns and supporting each other.
Made for real life
Every workshop and bespoke programme keeps this safety journey at its core, then adapts the scenarios, pace and physical training to your group’s ages, confidence, ability and priorities.



Workshop prices
Train on your own, as a pair or with friends and family. Choose your group size and session length. All prices cover the whole booking, not each person. Halstead Parish Room hire is included.
New to self-defence? A 60-minute workshop is a good starting point. Two-hour workshops remain £170 for either group size. Want regular practice? Explore bespoke programmes.
Location
Halstead Parish Room hire is included. Ben can also train you at your home if you have suitable, clear space. At-home prices are the same, with travel included within 5 miles of Sevenoaks, £20 from 5–10 miles, and a bespoke quote beyond 10 miles.
Your space
A safe, clear training area is required. A parent or carer remains present for Youth sessions, and every session is adapted to the people, space and equipment available.

Regular practice helps reinforce skills and build confidence gradually. We usually recommend at least three sessions, with the length and number tailored to your goals. The five-session prices below are a guide; ask for a proposal for other programme lengths.
If you continue with the matching five-session programme, your workshop counts as session one and its payment comes off the programme total. You then have four sessions left. The same group/pricing tier and session length must apply; changed arrangements need a tailored quote.
Questions and answers
Choose one workshop for a focused introduction, refresher or specific concern. Choose a bespoke programme of three or more sessions when you want more physical practice, progression and time to revisit skills. You can try a workshop first: if you continue with the matching five-session programme, it counts as session one and its payment is deducted from the programme total.
Youth workshops are for ages 8–15 with up to six participants. Adult workshops are for ages 16+ with up to six participants. Family workshops bring adults and children aged 8+ together, with up to six participants and at least one parent or carer taking part.
