GreenseerTrain, recharge & leave more confident
Confidence is one of the greatest forms of protection. Our self-defence retreats combine practical training with the comfort and tranquillity of a carefully selected resort or hotel, so you leave with real skills and a proper break.
More than just a training course
Whether you're attending one of our Women's Self Defence Retreats, Executive & Over 50s Retreats, or one of our exciting new retreats coming soon, each experience combines expert training with the comfort and tranquillity of a carefully selected resort or hotel.
Our aim isn't to create fighters, but to equip you with the knowledge, awareness, and practical skills to reduce risk, avoid confrontation where possible, and respond effectively if necessary. Then leave feeling stronger and better prepared for whatever life may bring.
Every retreat includes
Comfortable accommodation
Freshly prepared meals
Full use of the resort or hotel's facilities

From people who've trained with Kurt.
The same training sits at the heart of every retreat. Here's what people say after their sessions.
This was the first time I'd ever done a self defence class, and it was a fantastic experience. Kurt took us through a range of practical and effective techniques. I would highly recommend Kurt's classes to anyone looking to build confidence and learn real, usable self-defence skills.
This programme is about so much more than physical techniques. It encourages women to trust their judgement, understand boundaries and explore practical ways to protect themselves. All this without creating fear.
Train somewhere you'd want to stay anyway
Every retreat is hosted at a resort or hotel chosen for its comfort as much as its training space, from the spa and plunge pool to quiet lounges for winding down between sessions.
