Empowering teenage girls
for life outside the UAE

EDUCATE

Why should teenage girls learn self defence? Dubai is known for its safety; therefore, situational awareness training is key to helping our students recognise and pre-empt potential threats and dangers in other countries.

SUPPORT

In an Impulse class, no subject is taboo.
We work together with parents to ensure our students feel comfortable and can ask us anything, in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.

INSPIRE

Everyone can learn self-protection skills; it all starts with confidence and trusting your intuition.
Through role-play, drill-based exercises, and practical martial arts, Impulse will challenge what you think you cannot do!

Self defence is a life skill

Welcome to Impulse Defence, the UAE’s only female-led awareness and self-protection club. Our unique programme focuses on practical scenario-based training tailored to real-life situations, perfect for teens planning to attend university or move abroad.

Thoughts from parents

“As a Mum, I’m just happy that I finally found a self defence class for my teenage daughter. This was definitely missing in Dubai. It’s such a fun way to learn a life skill and this should be a part of every girls education.”

“This class is exactly what I have been looking for for a few years for my daughter. We looked into different martial arts classes but it wasn’t quite right and my daughter wasn’t keen (especially as most of the classes were full of boys). This class is perfect – my daughter has learnt so many self defence tactics to use in lots of different situations and she absolutely loves the class. Leah is great with the girls and has lots of martial arts experience. I’m so glad I found this class and would recommend it to all mums of teenage girls.”

“My husband and I grew up in the UK and although we are grateful for the safe environment Dubai provides for our children, we do worry about their lack of “street smarts”. My daughter loves the Impulse class and I’ve noticed a boost in confidence.”
