Why Haven Exists

Haven Self Defence was created to remove the barriers preventing women from empowering themselves to protect themselves. We offer affordable, convenient and easy to learn self defence programs.

We've built a community based on the principles of meeting women where they are at - leading with kindness, compassion, empathy and humour. 

We believe self defence isn’t about fighting—it’s about awareness, confidence, and having a plan.

Whether you’re a parent worried about your children, a woman looking to feel safer, a workplace keeping your employees protected or a community group looking to learn, Haven meets you where you are.
