About Us

Established in 2021, Physical Empowerment CIC offers people the opportunity to experience the power of working through both physical and mental trauma together. We offer a comprehensive model of training, encompassing physical self-defence skills, emotional resilience, mental combat and survival instincts. We are a Community Interest Company i.e. not for profit. We aim to offer our training, for free, to the people who need it the most.​​

​

Physical trauma, of any kind, can leave an indelible impression in the hearts and minds of the people who experience it. Physical, emotional, mental. Three corners of a triangle; they are all needed in order to build confidence in yourself and your own physical presence. Traditional self-defence courses tend to focus on the physical aspect but overcoming a traumatic past needs a more holistic approach.

​

Practically all courses and resources offered to people who have survived physical trauma are focused on mental and emotional confidence-building and empowerment but there are very few organisations in the UK which offer survivors of physical trauma the opportunity to get in touch with their own physicality and inner strength through physical training. 

​​​​

We are very aware of the need for long-term support and every time we run an initial course or workshop, we make sure there is a provision in place for a regular session to run in the local area afterwards. Once someone has attended a course with us, we hope they will take away practices that they will use on a daily basis. 

​

Every person has the right to be able to hold their head up high, look in a mirror and say, “I like you” or at least be able to smile at themselves. Physical Empowerment CIC wants to help you achieve this by helping you to get in tune with your body and truly understand the physical strength and power that you hold within.
