“My self-esteem has increased.  I understand how to manage risk”

“I now know how to stop becoming a victim! Thank you, so much.  It has changed my life”

"I have changed. I feel as a woman I can protect myself and I don’t need a man to protect me anymore. I recommend this course to every woman who has experienced any form of attack as it will help you to gain confidence again."

Case Study One: 

Jackie is a 19 year old-female, Black-Caribbean, Single, and has no children.

Please tell us why they became involved in the activities?

It was an important thing for me to learn as I am going on holiday and it’s an all-girls group I wanted to feel confident and not be afraid if danger approaches us.  I was attacked a few months ago and made me feel vulnerable and I thought it would be a good confidence boost.  Basically it was with my brother he thought I was being rude and he started hitting me and I went to call the police but my mother asked me not too as I would then have to leave the house.  After that incident nothing felt the same, I was afraid he would do the same thing again.  I don’t talk to my brother. My mum is scared of him.  I have now moved out.

Please tell us how participating helped you?

It has boosted my confidence and I feel more-safer on the road.  I know what to do in a situation how to protect myself and I have a chance of surviving and not becoming a repeat victim.  And I can protect others around me, as well.

Please tell us what has changed for you as a result of engaging with us?

I have changed a lot.  I realised I am stronger than I think and I am.  I can overcome things.  Like completing the course I am capable and I can do it.  I was able to do the striking and I thought I wouldn’t be able too.  So this has helped me a lot.

Thank you for everything!

Case Study Two: 

Becky is single and has no children, aged 33, White European Polish.

Please tell us why they became involved in the activities?

I became involved to learn how to protect myself on the streets and at work (because I work in a public space and I had been in incidents) and feel safer where I live.  Also because I reported things to the police before I wanted to feel safe in knowing what I could do to protect myself if it was necessary and these pass experiences happened again, I would feel safe and secure about protecting myself.

Please tell us how participating has helped you?

It has helped me become more confident in my local area and comfortable about my own personal safety.  If I go visit a place I don’t know like a city I feel confident about protecting myself, against strangers and others. 

I feel in any situation that may happen in the future I will be able to protect myself as all the scenarios we went through.

Please tell us what has changed for you as a result of engaging with us?

I have changed I feel as a women I can protect myself and I don’t need a man to protect me anymore.  I feel strong and also feel that all the information that was given out was useful and I know where to ask for help if I am in trouble with anything else.

I feel like I have a right to feel safe and confident on the street and I can protect myself and know how to behave in a situation.  I feel I have a right to my own personally space.

I recommend this course to every woman about personal safety or experienced any form of attack as it will help them to gain confidence again and they have a right to protect themselves.

I have already recommended this course to many people.

Case Study Three: 

Karen is married with one child, aged 37, Moroccan.

Please tell us why they became involved in the activities?

I joined to learn to protect myself because I had been attacked before and I didn’t want it to happen again.  I wanted my daughter to protect herself because I didn’t want my daughter to be attacked like I had been.  Also to understand that she had the right to say No to anyone that may feel its ok to touch her without her permission.

Please tell us how participating has helped you both?

Me and my daughter get to train together now, outside of your sessions and we have become real close by doing this.  I feel like I don’t need to protect herself she can do this all by herself now.  She has also made new friends and because I have met the other girl and I like her it gives me the confidence to allow her to go out with her.  I really like that she has made a new friend outside of the school.

Please tell us what has changed for the you as a result of engaging with us?

I feel more confident and can do things I didn’t have the confidence in doing before, I feel stronger and safer.  I don’t feel restricted anymore because it’s dark outside or their bullies outside.  So I feel more confident and feel more empowered I have loss my fear now, which has enabled me to become more social.

Having you encourage me and telling me how strong I am it gave me so much confidence and I love training with my daughter my physically ability has improved greatly.  We laugh and lesson together and it has brought my family together strongly which I really appreciate.

Case Study Four: 

Natalie is a 20 year old female, Black-British and single with no children.

Please tell us why you became involved in the activities?
I became involved because I wanted to learn personal defence if I were to encounter dangerous situations. I am pleased to say that this opportunity taught me self-defence and most importantly built my confidence.

Please tell us how participating helped you?
Participating in the project helped me to develop into a stronger individual. My interaction with others improved my teamwork skills.

Please tell us what has changed for you as a result of engaging with us?
From my engagement I noticed changes in myself. Firstly, I have become more confident when outdoors. Secondly, I feel stronger and empowered because the physical practical taught me how to protect myself if in threatening situations. Lastly, it has enabled me to believe in my abilities and understand my capabilities in terms of strength. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Sev Necati Training worked in partnership with Comic Relief and Willesden Sports Centre

Sev Necati Training worked in partnership with Comic Relief and Willesden Sports Centre, to deliver our award winning project “Women & Young People’s Safety Solution.” 

Our workshop for women and girls in personal safety, self-defence and confidence building took part in Willesden Green and had a very positive and empowering impact on the group.   The project worked with women and girls, from the local community, from various backgrounds, ages, and abilities and who had multiple-complex needs.  Women aged 70 took part as well as young girls aged 13.  They all took part in the same practical training and drills and trained together with their own peer group as well as mixing with different members so they could push themselves beyond their limits.

The group took part in discussions and through the training were able to increase their stamina and strength.  Each week their confidence and self-worth grew and by the end of the course women and girls felt empowered to deal with and manage conflict as well as having more positive relationships.

Our projects look to empower women and girls and change lives!  Read how we do this and come join our next series of workshops!

The Participant - Case Study - Two

Karen, 25, East European, Single, no children.

Please tell us why they became involved in your project/activities?

I joined the course I realised that before I came to London I didn’t realise in was so dangerous, were I was working there was so many incident’s so I thought I could learn some tactics and strikes I could learn as a single woman to protect myself.  Mostly when I was back home I felt safer but in London it’s not like this.  I knew a woman was perceived weaker than a man but it doesn’t have to be like that.

Please tell us how participating helped them?

It has helped me the first thing it has made me much more confident mentally and when it come to the attack from anyone I was scared about the attack would they go away and now I feel more confident on what to do if I do feel scared.  Learning about muscle memory and feel more confident in case of an attack and what to do before something happens.  Physically it has made me stronger and it has reduced my smoking!

It was very nice to see like that at the beginning women thought they were so weak but they improved week by week and saw how strong they were and built their confidence and it was nice to see that.

Please tell us what has changed for the participant as a result of engaging with the project?

What has changed, the first thing I broke up with my boyfriend as he doesn’t respect me enough as I learnt this through the relationship’s work.  I realised he wasn’t treating me well his behaviour and what he was saying and it put me down.  I told him I didn’t like it and how uncomfortable I found his joke’s, but he didn’t understand so we broke up and it’s a relief to be quite honest.

I feel confident coming home late at night and if someone is looking at me threatening or intimidating or sexual way, or a way I feel uncomfortable I feel more confident within myself as they have no right at looking at me in this way and it has made me feel confident in dealing with this kind of situation.

I use to me so nervous before but I have calmed down now, maybe because of the relationship and everything else.  I was very active before but it didn’t make me feel relaxed.  I use to do so many things, horse riding and other sports.  The training I have done with you has really relaxed me.

Before I went for the course I thought it would be more just physically fighting I didn’t realise it would be theory and I took more from the theory and mind work.  The physically side pushed my limit’s.  I will be continually the training at another martial arts place.

I think the theory was amazing.

I feel going into a new relationship I know who I am and how I want to be treated which is so positive and empowering for me.

Thank you!

The Participant - Case Study - One

Samantha is married and has 4 children, aged 44, Black Caribbean.

Please tell us why you became involved in your project/activities?

I became involved for my own self-protection for my children and to learn my rights regarding work.  I work in a hospital when I sometimes have aggressive patients; I wanted to know how to deal with them and for the street.

I have a lot of issues at work, being bullied and I didn’t know where I stood.  I have also been attacked at school by someone that is known to me, they have physically attacked me and knocked me several times her and her and friends.  They have continually laughed at me and I have felt intimidated and threatened by this group.  I didn’t know what my rights were if they hit me whether I could prevent it or not by being able to use self-defence myself.

Please tell us how participating helped you?

It has helped me to control myself especially in the work situation and I do worry about what’s happening to me, but I have stopped worrying because I have learned to speak up for myself and I can say NO now.  I am no longer afraid of them saying I am not a good team player.  I take a deep breath when something happens understanding my rights and knowing my strength on the streets and in my home.  In the work place it is very challenging because of their rules and I cannot over ride it even though the law and their policies say one thing.  I know how I can get help if I need it further, it has given me a light into what direction to turn and what direction to go in.  The course has helped me a lot with my self-confidence.

Please tell us what has changed for you as a result of engaging with the project?

I have learned to control myself before I was confused on what to do, where to go. I know what my rights are I know how to manage myself on the street.  I feel more confident on how to approach situations in a certain way and what to do.  Before I use to argue about things but now I know what channels to take to get the help I need.  I feel more empowered and confident.

I think what you are doing is great! It’s not only self-defence but also learning to have control. It has helped me a lot with my home environment with my children and I have lot more respect for myself and what I can do to benefit me.  My relationships with others has improved I have spoken to someone about my husband as I know that I was being mentally abused before, being bullied and my children were also being abused.  I have taken the right steps so this has stopped I have taken steps to feel secure in my home for me and my children.

The Participant - Case Study - Two

Karen is single no children, aged 29, White British.

Please tell us why you became involved in your project/activities?

I joined the course originally because I am travelling on my own so I wanted to be prepared with self-defence and hold myself in certain situations.  I hadn’t realised the course would have the confidence, self-worth and belief work as part of it.  It was something that I had been looking for a long time.  It was like fate as I wanted to do something like that for a long time.

Please tell us how participating helped you?

I feel stronger, I feel more confident, prepared and equipped for certain scenarios.  I feel the physically techniques have given me confidence to do self-defence if I need too, the law has empowered me, it has given me so much confidence in general life, the tools that you taught me on confidence and self-worth are really working on myself and changing things for me.  I didn’t realise how big my personal issues were, I do the work every night now which really helps me and if I don’t I realise I have too.

Please tell us what has changed for you as a result of engaging with the project?

Confidence has changed hugely I feel totally different I feel aware of things that I didn’t know how to deal with, enlightened, confident, and prepared the confidence is the biggest change, and equipped with different skills that I can further develop on my own.  I feel much stronger physically and mentally knowing and understanding where my power comes from. 

I feel much happier, I still have moments but I am good. I would like to do your confidence course but as I am going away travelling I would love to do it when I get back.  I feel more empowered and I am recommending the course to everyone.  The length of the course was perfect, 3 hours each session, you have to really commit to it, you go through things with the group and you, it takes time to open up, because of everything everyone else is also going through but you eventually do.  I think it was really bonding, especially the physically side. 

My friends think it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, they say this woman is amazing this is what they say, it’s like what she has done has really helped you change yourself especially to do with your confidence.

Thank you for everything and I think it’s amazing for women that are looking for it and need it.

Thank you for doing such an amazing course for women!
