I’m Hannah, your Strike Back Self Defence instructor; a Mum, karaoke singing, step-count obsessed, baking try-hard, an animal lover who has a decade-long, committed relationship with Google flights, am generally described as fierce and an all-round powerhouse that thrives on being busy!

I teach real-life, functional and simple self-defence skills designed specifically for women and girls. I believe that everybody deserves to feel safe, confident and capable. I’m committed to creating a warm, friendly and inclusive learning environment where students feel welcome. Through practical skills, clear guidance and supportive coaching, my mission is to empower women and girls to trust their instincts, understand their strength and feel prepared to look after themselves in everyday situations.

Whether someone is joining for the first time or building on existing skills, I aim to make every session encouraging, engaging and genuinely useful. Strike Back is more than training, it’s a space for building confidence, community and resilience. You will leave feeling empowered!
