TESTIMONIALS

My 15yo daughter and I along with our 2 friends attended this class taught by Gaven.

Along with teaching us how to be aware and safe in situations in the community, on public transport and stations, car parks, restaurants, work places and at home and how to be prepared, he listened to our stories and situations even though we ran late.

Sharing his vast experience of situations and life I can now put into practice his teachings and feel more confident that my daughter and her friend will be more alert and able to avoid situations before they escalate.

He also taught us points of law regarding situations which is informative and powerful.

I highly recommend this course for all schools especially for its empowerment with regard to public transport and staying safe and also in house bullying and adverse behaviours. It would empower the victims and also put the bullies on notice of how the law can be used.

Thanks Gaven.

I attended the Women’s Self Defence class taught by Gaven. I can’t rave more about the class.

Gaven is extremely experienced having worked in the police force and security for 25 years, was very approachable and got his point across using real life scenarios.

In a short 3 hours, I learned how to reduce my chances of being in a situation where I could be attacked, how to increase my awareness and how to defend myself. This class has changed my whole outlook and I’ll be changing how I act when I’m catching public transport, a taxi, going to a restaurant, going to a new place, parking and even at home.

I feel empowered and less fearful. Knowledge is power and I thank Gaven for giving me that.

Loved the women’s self defence course taught by Gaven. Lots of practical advice given in a 3 hour session. Highly recommended!

Cinmy – 20/11/2018

I participated in the women’s self defence class and it was one of the best things I have ever done! Gaven was amazing and very informative, I would highly recommend this class to any woman. I definitely have taken a lot on board from this class, thanks Gaven!

Strike’s “Women’s Self Defence” course is empowering and great fun. Gaven Wicks, who gives the course, is an absolute GEM. He pours energy into our 3 hours, [and it feels like only 5 minutes!] .The practical things we can do to cope with an assault are simple and easy to remember [I hope!].However, the bits I loved the most are the riveting stories Gaven told us about his life in “the underbelly”.These gave us a critical insight into the way criminals think, so we can think like one to and be one step ahead. I highly recommend this course. Strike has a genuine concern for our well being.

Thank you to Strike Training & Consulting for providing an informative and interactive staff training session tailored to suit the needs of our organisation. Gaven shared his wealth of knowledge & experience in a friendly and professional manner. We look forward to having Strike come again.

My 15yo daughter Jasmin & I had been looking for a self defence class that we could do together. We both loved the fun class & have come away with some great tips & practical ways to keep ourselves safe if needed. Thank you for the enjoyable evening classes. Now to practice on my husband & two sons. �

Upon referral and recommendation from another organisation, Good Samaritan Industries approached Strike Training & Consulting to customise a ‘Store Security, Defence and Conflict Management’ program for our organisation.

Strike Training & Consulting worked closely with us to develop a bespoke training product that was highly contextualised to our environment and staff. This culminated in delivery of the training to 25+ store managers over a half day period.

The program was a complete success and all participants left the course with confidence in how to handle conflict in the work place in a professional manner in line with their rights as an employee.

The trainer we had for the day was Mr. Gaven Wicks who was very professional, and didn’t subject us to ‘death by power point’. The session was very interactive and inclusive of all participants in a safe and fun training environment.

I have subsequently recommended Strike Training & Consulting to other retailers as a result of our experience and would continue to do so for people who need professional development in conflict management or for any business that has a strong customer relation base.

PERTH SELF DEFENCE: PLAN TO BE AWARE

– Channel Nine News interview

On Saturday 17th March 2018 the woman in this interview was attacked for her phone in East Perth. She attempted to fight off the attacker and was stabbed 5 times. Our Managing Director Gaven WICKS was interviewed about the incident.
Is Perth a dangerous place? No, it isn’t in comparison to other cities and certainly not on the back of one single incident. But there is a growing concern around increasing violent attacks and the brazen attitude of these criminals who have little regard for the law. There has been an increase in these types of attacks in Perth and it is advised people become more aware of their environment and who moves within it. They need to be more vigilant about their surroundings, what to look out for and how to deal with their own safety.
A simple reliance on police to respond or security to assist means the event has already occurred and most likely the damage has been done. All members of the community need to educate themselves in the face of these types of attacks. It is not as complicated as attending countless martial arts or combat classes. A simple understanding of knowing what to do and how to manage your situation with simple self-defence moves is all that is required.
