Empowerment Through Self Defence: Tailored Courses for Young Learners
At SISTA Self Defence, we are dedicated to equipping young girls and persons of marginalized genders with essential personal safety skills. Our comprehensive courses are designed to fit seamlessly into the NZ Curriculum, specifically within the Health and Physical Education learning areas for students in Years Y3 - 4, Y7 - 8, and Y10 - 13.
Each course offers age-appropriate personal safety education, with a focus on pure and applied self defence.
Our courses empower students not only by providing essential safety education, but also by providing resources and knowledge for seeking safety and support if they experience assault, or abuse of any type. They are also provided guidance on how to support others. With alarming statistics showing that 1 in 3 girls may be sexually abused before the age of 16, and that the majority of assaults are perpetrated by someone known to the victim, our education is as vital as teaching our young people to swim. New Zealand has the highest rates of domestic violence in the developed world.
We ensure a safe and trusted learning environment. Together, we can foster a generation that is informed and empowered to break the cycle of violence.
You can also opt to fund a course for your child’s school or your local school - CONTACT US if you would like to fund a course for your child’s school or your local school!

Customised Courses
At SISTA Self Defence, we understand that every group has unique needs and dynamics. That's why we offer customised self defence courses tailored specifically for your group, whether it's a mother-daughter duo, a circle of girlfriends, domestic or sexual violence victims, groups with disabilities, cultural groups, community groups or a university class. Our programs can be adjusted to accommodate any size group, ensuring that everyone feels empowered and confident. Learning pure and applied self defence in a trauma informed way can also assist the healing process for people who have experienced, and healed from, previous trauma.
In a country like New Zealand, where domestic violence rates are among the highest in the developed world, it's crucial to equip ourselves and our loved ones with the skills to protect against harm. 1 in 3 females will experience some form of violence or abuse in their lives.
Join us in creating a safe and supportive environment where female friends and family can learn self-defence strategies that suit their specific circumstances. Together, we can build a stronger community, one course at a time.
