Every person should feel empowered to protect themselves – and in this Inside TKDC session, Monique Venus delivers a focused and practical self-defence seminar designed specifically for women. Monique brings a powerful blend of real-world experience and martial skill: she’s a fully qualified Balintawak Arnis instructor, a black belt in empty hand Goju Karate, and a serving police officer with Victoria Police, Australia.

Her background in crime scene analysis and criminal profiling gives her a unique edge in teaching skills that apply to real situations, not just theory. This seminar is clear, practical, and confidence-building – with ideas you can apply immediately.

In the full session, Monique covers key self-defence principles, situational awareness, and effective responses to common grabs and attacks. She explains not only what to do, but why it works, helping you build the mindset and decision-making required under pressure.

This is an excellent resource for instructors who teach self-defence, as well as students who want practical guidance grounded in both traditional martial arts and real-world policing experience. Self-defence is not about looking for a fight – it is about confidence, presence, and taking purposeful action when it matters most.
