I found it lifted my mood and walked a little bit taller as a result
Normally I'm very skeptical about self defence, but I found Alex actually real. Real life examples and things women can actually do.

Why She Strikes - A message from Steph
She Strikes was created after conversations with friends who admitted they often felt uneasy being home alone at night or walking back from an evening out. As women, we don’t always like to voice how vulnerable we can feel—but when we started talking, we realised just how many unsettling experiences we’d all had. From being followed, to physically being treated inappropriately and fearing for our safety.
Alex who runs our classes has over 20 years in policing and has an incredible knowledge of karate and real-life defence so we decided to create something meaningful for women: a female-only class designed to empower women and girls both mentally and physically.
We might not be able to eliminate the dangers that exist in the world, but we can teach you effective ways to protect yourself, how to fight, how to carry yourself, and how to build real confidence from the inside out.
Class Content
Drawing on years of Karate training, frontline Police experience, and real-life situations, She Strikes has been built to provide strategies that truly work beyond the classroom.
The classes go straight into the application side of Sugiura Rensei Karate, making it the perfect choice if you want to:
-
Develop practical skills for real-life self-protection
-
Practise basic fighting techniques, providing muscle memory you can depend on
-
Learn proven techniques that have been pressure-tested and shown to work
-
Boost your fitness, confidence, and overall wellbeing
She Strikes isn’t just a class—it’s a path to empowerment, strength, and resilience.
